  • Hey Everyone,
    I will be vlogging my week as a substitute teacher. I have no prior experience as a substitute teacher. I also did not receive training on how to be a substitute teacher. I am learning on the go and taking tips from people around me who are teachers or have been a substitute teacher longer than I have. Eventually, I do hope to be able to share any tips and tricks that I have learned along the way.
    Start date: February 16th, 2021
    Pay: $94/day with Bachelor's Degree
    Schedule: You get to make your own
    I hope that this video helped 💕

    I cannot thank you enough for this video! I have applied to become a substitute teacher and I am watching as many videos as possible in order to give me a better idea of what to expect if, in fact, I am fortunate enough to gain a position. You were very thorough and I truly respect you! Almost every video talks about how hard this position is, now I know why. I hope that you are still doing a great job!

    Thank you for this presentation. I am in the process of getting registered to become a substitute teacher in an area of Houston Texas. I found the district has a lot of information in a document for new substitutes outlining all the requirements and procedures. I found some second hand books on eBay about classroom management and substitute teaching practice … also found there is a Substitute Teacher Lounge podcast and facebook group.

    I would just say when you need help as a sub, especially when your subbing multiple days, you can ask another teacher for assistance. Many subs carry extra activities that are season related. When you come early and see plans you don't understand you can ask another team teacher or just go on TH-cam.
    I don't think its appropriate to bash teachers and students on TH-cam. The 15 minute cool down should be used for bathroom and story. When you're confused re alouds are a great option. There's to much identifiable information and race should not be addressed. I love these videos and hope no one is discouraged from the profession.

    So relatable , I was so confused at things. The kids were like looking at me like we’ll help us. It was beyond confusing, I think I will have activities I understand just in case. Otherwise kids act out if there is confusion, and down time

  • @MikalaGabrielle
    @MikalaGabrielle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So as a sub do you have the option to pick between elementary, middle school, or high school? Or does it depend on what district you work in? I’m thinking about doing substitute teaching but I only want to do elementary, at least to start out.

    • @miachristina
      @miachristina  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had the option to pick between elementary, middle, and high. The staffing company I worked for opened shifts for every grade level, but we had the opportunity to choose. We just had to ensure we met the month's required hours.

    What would you say is the hardest thing about subbing for Elementary? My friend is a sub and is helping me with becoming one. She mainly does middle and high school, but I personally don't think I can handle older kids. Especially not highschoolers since I'm not that much older than them.

    • @miachristina
      @miachristina  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Lol! I felt the same way. The hardest thing about subbing for elementary would have to be trying to keep the kids on task to get them to finish their work. Lol. They want to do everything else but do their work.
