  Case: Substitute Teaching
How do you get the students to respect you as a sub, when you only see them one day?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Besides being firm and expressing clearly your expectations to the students, I would try to be respectful towards them in a way that shows them you mean business and want them to learn, but you also understand not having their teacher like usual may throw their schedule into wack, if that makes sense. Some students feel really uncomfortable expressing themselves in front of substitutes and I think they mask this by acting up and misbehaving. I would let them know that while their teacher may be away, everything will be okay and we will have a normal productive day.

Comments: I agree that it isn't a good approach to be excessively firm. They will not take you seriously as there is no background knowledge of your teaching abilities.
