Role of the Substitute Teacher
Scoot substitutes provide high quality education when regular teachers are out of the classroom. They are expected to maintain high standards for the academic and behavioral performance of all students. They should introduce students to new material, support student learning and run the classroom in a manner as close to routine as possible.
