How can I better manage this behavior? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would remind them before you leave or when another teacher walks in, to remain silent and be respectful while you are engaging in a conversation with someone else. If you know that you are going to be absent, I would review the classroom rules and procedures and stress about being respectful to the teacher ( not the sub) that is taking your place for the day. Let the students know that the new teacher for the day will follow the same classroom rules and procedures and will hand out consequences. You could also suggest that you will pop in at anytime to see how they are doing. If they do not follow the rules and are disrespectful to the teacher, give them a consequence upfront that they are made aware of. Let the teacher know the consequence so he or she can remind them as well.
