However, when I returned the next day, none of the work was completed and students told me they watched a movie. How can I ensure this doesn't happen again? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One of the best ways to prevent this is to post the lesson virtually for students directly to minimize any issues. another thing that can be done is to have a student volunteer work directly with the substitute to assist them with implementing the lesson plans. The substitute may not be well equipped alone to ensure everything is taught and assigned the way it should be.
