[AISLE-Share] Substitutes

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

My building is certainly in the same boat as you are. In the past, I was
asked to sub a period here, a period there, almost every day of the week.
Then I had my evaluation and my admin complained that I was not out
collaborating more. I said I was being a good team player and helping out
with subbing. She told me that I needed to start saying no when "asked" to
sub, so I did. We have different administration now, so it is starting off
the year a bit differently.

I chalk our lack of a sub pool to our "reputation" of student behavior, but
our district is also starting a concerted effort to teach the kids how to
treat substitutes. So far, so good. I think we also raised our sub pay
rate, so that might help draw more subs to the district.
