Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) A solution would be to have the teacher explain to the students that there will be a sub coming the next day / period / week (whatever the time may be) and remind them the sub is to be respected. Tell the students that the sub should be respected the same as they respect the teacher. The teacher should also let the students know that the sub will be taking notes of class behavior and student names of the day and will be informing the teacher of the notes. Along with telling the students that when the teacher returns they will address the notes. The sub will be taking notes of both good and bad behavior. If the notes include bad behaviors, consequences will be given. The sub should also have a list of consequences that they can give to the students the time that they are in the classroom with the sub immediately to help stop misbehavior. Positive behaviors will be rewarded.
