An arrival-and-orientation checklist for substitute teachers and the admin staff who support them, ensuring the sub has everything needed to run the class effectively. Covers lesson plan location and review, class list and attendance procedures, emergency protocols, students with special needs or medical conditions, behaviour management expectations, classroom supplies and technology access, and the end-of-day summary that helps the regular teacher return smoothly.

A well-prepared substitute maintains learning continuity and classroom order. An unprepared substitute wastes the day, loses control of the class, and creates problems the regular teacher spends days fixing. This checklist closes the information gap between the absent teacher and their replacement.
