The Substitute: A Survival Guide for the Inexperienced, Unprepared or Unmotivated Teacher was born from necessity. Like me, if you are ever in a situation where you are expected to “entertain” a room full of:
- high school students,
- ESL students or even,
- Corporate trainees, this is a book for you!
The Substitute is a priceless collection of proven tips, tools and techniques to turn you into a SUPER-SUB ... especially if your teaching career has just begun!
I was educated to be a teacher, but the one thing they forget to teach us was what happens when the teacher you are replacing has left you without any material to work with. If you are an experienced substitute teacher, you can cope. As a new substitute teacher, the potential to be lost is obvious.
Discover PROVEN, TRIED and TESTED techniques that will make your most difficult days easier to deal with, so you can concentrate on moving forward to becoming a GREAT TEACHER that all of our school systems need!

Discover the secret of how to get call backs from the teachers you sub for...
- From that first day, I realized that I would never enter a classroom without being fully prepared.
- I decided to gather as many fun activities as I could and never look back.
- I realized that my reputation as a sub grew because of the fun the students were having in my class.
- I understood that if my classes were interesting and different, I would get more substitute calls from teachers because the kids recommended me!
- If you are a teacher looking for a JOB, you understand how difficult it is. If you can impress the students, you are more likely to get numerous sub jobs, which will lead to a permanent position.

Every teacher should read 'the substitute' to remind themselves of what it is like to be a TOC. (Teacher on Call)

"Why didn't I think of that?"
That's the response most great ideas receive. Simple splashes of brilliance such as suspenders, seatbelts, and the spork all became painfully obvious only after they were discovered. Well, you can add one more entry to the list of overlooked genius: THE SUBSTITUTE: A Survival Guide for the Inexperienced, Unprepared or Unmotivated Teacher.

Why hasn't anyone ever compiled a series of easy, entertaining, and insightful exercises to help substitute teachers - or any public speakers, for that matter – get themselves established?
It seems that there is this philosophy of 'trial by fire' within the teaching industry.
Author Jason Day wanted to stop the pain.
Having been a substitute teacher himself, Jason knew just how ill-equipped substitutes can be. So he took it upon himself to equip them. The result came in the form of THE SUBSTITUTE: A Survival Guide for the Inexperienced, Unprepared or Unmotivated Teacher. This easy-to-use, entertaining, and innovative handbook has truly become one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" flashes of brilliance. As creative as the spork, as life-saving as a seatbelt, and as capable of sparing you from embarrassment as a pair of suspenders, THE SUBSTITUTE: A Survival Guide for the Inexperienced, Unprepared or Unmotivated Teacher has definitely earned a spot on the list of overlooked genius.

Why the Title?
Good question! Some people think that the title of my book is a little negative, or gives the wrong kind of message with regards to education and our teachers. My thoughts are the total opposite! I only speak the truth. We teachers are human too!
- When I first started subbing, I was obviously inexperienced. If I had my book then, my job would have been a lot easier!
- Let’s be honest...sometimes regular teachers are unprepared to be away for a day...because who really plans for a sick day during the week! Substitute teachers typically get the call for a job in the morning hours the same day that they are expected to teach. Sometimes that sub is unprepared!
- Finally, the unmotivated part came from the feeling I got after being “beat up” emotionally from subbing in some very difficult classes. Subbing is an extremely difficult job, and if you are not ready for some “bad” days, then you are getting into the wrong profession. Sometimes you will be unmotivated to give each class your best. Always know that The Substitute: A Survival Guide for the Inexperienced, Unprepared or Unmotivated Teacher will be there for you!
So what’s a fair price to pay for this one-of-a-kind collection of proven subbing techniques that will save you time, money and your sanity?
