The Subfolder - Procedures: Sharing How You Do Things in Your Classroom. This is episode 719 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
To better help your substitute teachers in your classroom create a subfolder where you leave specific information like work assignments, bell schedules, class seating chart, and map of school with bathrooms identified as well as parking place for the substitute teacher to park in. Also provide additional information about the school that might be helpful like the names of teachers and front office personnel who can assist. Additionally, share procedures for how you do things in your classroom. A few classroom procedures to include are:
1. Procedures for sending a student to the restroom
2. Procedures for handing out and collecting technology
3. Starting and Ending Class
4. Collecting and distributing classwork/homework
5. Going to lunch
Listen to the episode and see the picture above for more procedures to explain in your subfolder. This is not an exhaustive list but does include some must share ideas.
Help your substitute have a great day. Include in your subfolder the procedures for how you do things.
Take care of your substitute teachers.

The Subfolder: What Goes Inside the Subfolder. This is episode 717 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
In this episode I share a few of the items that you should keep in your subfolder. Remember to take care of your substitutes. A subfolder with information about the day and the operation of the class and school goes a long way to making the substitute teacher's day a great one, which in turn means that you will have a great day when you return.
Here are a few of the items:
1. Daily Schedule
2. Map of School
Restrooms marked on the map.
Adult restrooms marked.
Where to park.
Where the front office is?
3. Bell schedule
4. Seating charts
What else could you include?
Don't forget the class assignment.
Take care of your substitute teachers.
