Lesson plans for nearly every subject area and every elementary grade (including ESL/ELL) give substitute teachers an arsenal of standards-based activities to use when an absent teacher leaves no instructions. Fifty surefire lessons (some with reproducible handouts) comprise the main part of the book. A preliminary section lays out the dos and don'ts of subbing, suggests how to equip a personal "sub kit" and provides ideas and forms for classroom management, while a final chapter offers time-fillers for navigating those awkward few minutes between the end of the lesson and the ringing of the bell. Grades K-6. Illustrated. Good Year Books. 108 pages. Second Edition.
