Substitute Teacher During Emergency Drills
A substitute teacher came in and subbed for one of the first-grade classrooms. We had an active assailant drill where we were told that it was a closed campus situation and that we could continue instruction but were not allowed to leave the building. I walked by the classroom and noticed that the sub had the class up against the wall and the lights off. I went up to her and calmly and nicely explained that since it was a closed campus situation, we could continue with the instruction. Still, the sub told me in a rather rude tone that no one told her that was the case and that if they wanted it done a certain way then they need to inform her, but until then she would be doing things her way. Any thoughts or tips? |

Bring the issue to administration, not only so that she can be 'properly' informed, but also due to the unnecessary rudeness to you. Being unprofessional directly to one in your profession can be an underlying sign of how they act to the students they substitute. It could be something you could help, could be nothing, couldn't hurt to talk to administration about this incident. |

I feel like with subs, they should always know what the drills are, whether it is when it comes to this particular one. For every sub, even if they are subs that have been doing it for a long time, or new ones, they should be required to go through training on certain drills. In your situation, I feel as if you should have repeated yourself since you had just told her what the case was. |

I think the situation should be presented to administration. The substitute should be aware of what each drill requires. In a way, this is a safety issue due to not knowing the proper procedure to a safety drill. |

I would first try explaining to the teacher what is the proper way to practice this drill is. For example, I would tell them what the drill is for, the email sent stating the drill information, etc. If there is still an issue I would take it up with administration and let them take care of it. |
