Having to deal with a room of disrespectful students is no fun, especially if you are a substitute teacher<\/a> who deeply cares about student achievement, the following information is for you. Many times, when students walk into the room and see you sitting there instead of their regular teacher, they get an attitude.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no, we got a sub, why can\u2019t Miss Albright be here. I hate subs.\u201d<\/p>\n

A substitute teacher certainly doesn\u2019t want to hear such discouraging words. We want to be liked and respected as well as the regular teacher.<\/p>\n

We do not want to hear kids say, \u201cOh no, a substitute teacher or \u201cOh wow, this is going to be a free day for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in the day a substitute was more welcomed in a classroom than he or she is today. Children understood that learning was more important than always having he regular teacher there. This is not to say that students didn\u2019t miss an absent teacher. But they were more respectful of the authority there to teach them.<\/p>\n

Reasons Students Don\u2019t Appreciate Substitute Teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today substitute teachers are disrespected by some students immediately. There are several reasons:<\/p>\n

Just Fill Ins:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students see substitute teachers as someone only there to fill in for the teachers. They don\u2019t see subs as someone with the knowledge, skills, and talents that can help education them and provide uninterrupted learning.<\/p>\n

Push Overs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever felt like the children were overtaking the classroom? Many students see subs as pushovers, someone who will allow them to get away with breaking classroom rules without the appropriate response.\u00a0 For instance, students used to come up to me and say, \u201cYou are the best substitute teacher in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Normally, this is alright. Any teacher wants to hear that type of language coming from children. However, there was a problem with such compliments. They were coming from students who were the most disruptive in the classroom.\u00a0 When you hear these types of compliments from students with toxic behavior. Beware! You just may be perceived as a push over.<\/p>\n

Power Struggle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many students view the substitute teacher experience as an opportunity to gain the upper hand in the classroom<\/a>. Such kids love the idea of struggling for power. They challenge the substitute in every area until it becomes a distraction to the classroom and the ability to teach and learn.<\/p>\n

Impact of Lack of Appreciation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thousands of substitutes quit subbing. Although they may like kids, they decide that it is not worth their sanity. Some of the classroom they sign up for challenge the very core of their emotional stability, and sometimes safety and security.<\/p>\n

In addition, when substitute educators are not appreciated in the classroom, they stop coming. And regular teachers find it difficult to take off to go to important appointments. Districts across the nation are suffering from a substitute teacher crisis. Something must change.<\/p>\n

Without substitute teacher\u2019s burnout among regular teachers will increase. Because they cannot get a break, they will experience overwhelm in their lesson planning as well as classroom management capacity.<\/p>\n

Substitute teachers provide uninterrupted learning for students and staff. For example, when teachers are missing without a reserve. Regular staff are disturbed. Many times, they must split classroom, ending up with an increase in students and challenging behavior. This interrupts the daily plans designed for the regular class.<\/p>\n

What Needs to Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best way to promote appreciation and awareness for substitute teachers is to educate children about their importance. Children need to know that reserve teachers can guide learning as well as a regular teacher.<\/p>\n

In addition, principals need to gather students in an assembly and let students know that without substitute teachers, regular staff will not be able to function probably or provide a continuous quality education.<\/p>\n

Substitutes keep things going smoothly throughout the school year.<\/p>\n

Moreover, whole classrooms should be award incentives, by administration, for showing reserve teachers a wonderful school day.<\/p>\n

Things can change once students are aware that substitute teachers are as important to the education process as regular teachers. Teachers, districts, and administrators will be happy when their staff has access to an abundance of reserve teachers ready to step in and continue to educate and promote the next generation of leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
