Leave your class in good hands with this printable survival kit for substitute teachers. Includes ready-to-use templates for key information, lesson plans, tips for classroom management, and more.

This editable template is an essential part of any substitute teacher’s bag of tricks. Whether you’re a new teacher, or veteran teacher, wanting to leave a survival kit for your substitute, or a substitute teacher looking for ways to ensure a smooth handover, you’ll want to make sure this printable is in your binder or substitute teacher bag.

How To Use This Substitute Teacher Survival Kit Template

Completely customizable, this template can be used for elementary, middle school, or high school grade levels and for any subject area. Either edit the PDF to provide all the information the substitute teacher will need, or simply print off and file away blank copies on the first day back to school to use through the school year when you need them.

When building your substitute teacher survival kits, you may wish to combine this template with a seating chart, name tags for students, sticky notes, and a supply of early-finisher and extension worksheets. This substitute teacher feedback form is also a really useful way to keep the regular teacher updated on students’ progress while they’ve been away.
