• Recognize the importance of the job: The role of the substitute is that of a professional, you must have a sincere desire to teach.
• Be prepared to do the job fully: Teachers are expected to do many routine things beyond the teaching of lessons, such as; cafeteria, playground, and bus duty.
• Be professional and ethical in your relations. Substituting involves many varied situations and often more than one school. Make a practice of never comparing one school with another, one principal with another, one teacher with another, or, one class with another.
• Never discuss school matters outside of school.
