As a supply teacher you will be faced with the unfamiliar. You may find yourself in a school that you have never been to before. The students may be strangers to you … and you to them, of course; subjects that you teach will not necessarily be your own specialisms; you may not have built up working relationships with the other staff. Faced with these challenges, prepare yourself for any eventuality with the help of Brilliant Supply Teacher.
Through hints, tips and anecdotal advice Laurence French provides a practical guide to the day-to-day aspects of supply teaching to help make this important school role more enjoyable and fulfilling.
