Supporting Subs in Start-of-Year Vacancies
Dear Colleagues,
Start-of-year vacancies bring unique challenges for everyone. That’s why we at Substantial Classrooms have created this FREE toolkit to share best practices for supporting substitute teachers – and coaches, specialists, and central office staff – who step up to take these assignments.
It is our hope that you will find this resource helpful and that all of your substitute teachers feel a sense of support, community, and meaning as they dive into this challenging work.
We would love to hear your feedback on the tool and how you and your team plans to use it. Please reach out to us and explore ALL the ways that Substantial Classrooms can work with you to unleash the potential of substitute teachers.
Thank you!

Our best practices guide for setting up subs in long-term positions. The guide outlines how HR and principals can work together to make sure that long-term subs have access to essential information and are introduced to the school community. It includes sample agendas, checklists, and email templates.

Dear Principals,
As we continue to work hard to recruit permanent teachers, I’d like to encourage you to prioritize preparation and support for the substitute teachers who are helping us to start the year. Here is a toolkit of suggested best practices to support you in this work. https://substantialclassrooms.org/vacancies/
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
**If possible, please provide principals guidance about sub compensation for planning activities. The toolkit suggests a minimum of 2 hours to do a welcome meeting and classroom walkthrough with a school administrator.
