This was just what I needed after a rough day with a sub. I hope the reflection piece helps students realize how their actions impact others and how guest teachers need to be welcomed into our class. Thank you,.

I love this resource! It was a little more advanced than my students were prepared for, but I was able to use many pieces of this resource without modifying. For the pieces that they struggled to use appropriately, we had class discussions and explanations.

As a former substitute myself, I take the behavior of my students when sub is there very seriously. This resource really really helps with that. I love that there are materials to use both before and after the sub is there, and it's something that could be used with just individual students or the whole class.

This resource was a great way to help my students reflect on how they treated their guest teacher. It set us up to have an open and honest conversation about how the day went.

We have had a sub shortage since 2020. I felt it was so important to prepare my students for a sub. This resource does that. It was perfect.
