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!) First, make sure that the sub that was there the day before never comes and subs your class again. Making the sub lesson plans more efficient and more to the point will help as well. You could also contact the administrators and make sure that the subs that will come into your classroom know not to do anything else until the lesson is completed and all the assignments are done and turned in.
