In my classroom, I HATE it when the substitute doesn't follow my plans...when I know that I am going to be out, I make excellent sub plans (telling exact details, times, helpful students, etc) and half of the subs STILL don't follow the plans! Get to the classroom early enough so that you have time to read the plans and locate all of the necessary items for the day. Ask a fellow teacher for help if you aren't sure where to find something. And finally, always have a backup plan ready....have a few books (for different age groups) tucked into your school bag, plus a few "go-to" lessons or games for those times when you have a spare five minutes to fill. I have noticed times when my kids have been crazy the day after a substitute because the sub kind of let them run wild...other times, I have come back and the kids got all of their jobs done, just like it was any other day...if the teacher leaves you good plans, follow them to a T!!!

Maybe my perspective isn't what you're looking for, becuase I teach at an inner city school. All I want from subs is to leave the room in the same condition I left it! Also, I have never, not once, had a sub leave me a note to tell me what happened. I completely understand that the students can get out of control when I'm not there. I hope, but don't expect, that the sub will come prepared with fun activities for them, and won't take any of their garbage. But no matter what happens, I hate being in the dark. It seems like every time I'm absent, I come back to find my room a total mess and I hear 20 different stories from 20 different kids about what happened. I would love it if the sub would just leave a note, so at the very least I could reward the kids who had been well behaved.

Left the classroom in good condition. Didn't allow children to run around the room playing with stuff. Graded some papers. Left notes for the teacher concerning behavior problems, etc.

Flexibility, humour, ability to discipline and actually get the kids to complete the work set by the classroom teacher instead of being a glorified, highly paid babysitter.

personnaly for me a good substitute should listen to the needs of his/her students and adapt the work according to it, and try to satisfy their needs and the program
