Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Walking into a room with a prepared mind and day are the most beneficial tool in substituting. Being aware of the dynamics of the class and arriving early are also important. I always leave notes for substitutes about the students and I also let my students know that I will be asking for a report from the substitute teacher at the end of her shift.
