Substitute Teaching:
An Insider's View
The
Bottom Line
By: Deborah Bouley
My final words of wisdom revolve around your being courageous. It is
okay to be apprehensive about substitute teaching. I am still amazed as
I watch some regular teachers operate their classrooms. I wonder sometimes
if parents know what goes on behind the closed classroom doors. Some teachers
are better than others. If you follow your heart and spirit you will not
hurt a child. I believe this is our greatest fear. As a substitute teacher
you are not going to have many opportunities to affect lives because you
move from place to place, day after day. But you can offer safety and
security to parents who place the welfare of their children in your hands.
The bottom line? Do your best work, always!
