The first 2 are definitely the biggest perks of substitute teaching imo. I love the flexibility of it, I can choose which classes to teach and when the school day is over I have no other commitments like I would if I was a full time teacher. Number 3 based on my experiences so far I agree, the 3rd-5th grade classes I have dealt with have been the easiest to manage. The younger kids take more effort to manage, probably because they're still learning the basics of how to behave in the classroom. I worked with some middle school classes during my student teaching and I definitely don't think I would want to work with middle school students long term. I don't yet have any experience with high school students but I may try subbing for some high school classes in the near future. I agree overall subbing is a great way for new teachers like myself to get a feel for different classes to figure out which are best for you before you commit to teaching a certain group of kids full time. And yeah, it's a good way to build rapport with staff too if you're considering working at a certain school full time at some point in the future. With number 4 just keep in mind your ability to do that will vary depending on the classes you teach. I tend to not be able to do that since I'm mainly subbing for younger kids in settings like music class so it requires more active engagement with them. But at least you can take advantage of the teacher's prep time to do those things, if nothing else. And yeah, I agree with the last point. I'm sure the salary varies depending on where you work but at least where I work it's pretty decent for what I do. I currently work at 2 districts and one pays $110 per day and the other pays $120 per day.
Thank you for your video's.... I am contemplating subbing, my wife has been doing it for years and now she wants me to do it. I have a personality very much like yourself, I also work in film, acting, directing which is seems to be a strengh for me. I'm very much take charge, even at age 51, Lol However, I did horrible in school and to be totally honest, for some reason a bit nervous. I already have my sub teacher license but I put it off last year due to making a feature movie. I am a very spontaneous person, and hate 9-5 jobs and love as you said. the flexibility of the job so I am thinking about doing it soon. I do have adhd, which I dont like to claim but have been told by many doctors, and I am not organized at all, so this is the one thing that concerns me. I have lost many jobs in my lifetime due to either being board or honestly getting fired. So my confidence level is not very high these days. Thank you again!
