information pages for a sub binder

Provide a detailed schedule of your class’s daily routine. Include start and end times for each subject or activity, as well as any special schedules for the day (e.g., early dismissal or special assemblies).

Leave clear, step-by-step lesson plans for each subject. If possible, include any necessary worksheets, handouts, or activities. Make sure your plans are easy to follow, with enough detail that a substitute unfamiliar with the material can teach it effectively.

Make sure to set out a feedback page for your sub to fill out! It will give you insight into how the day went for the sub and your students.

How to Use the Printables

There are two options for using this printable packet.

  1. Print the pages and fill in the pages using a writing utensil.
  2. Use Google Slides to personalize the printable so you can type in all the editable fields.

Either option is great! If you like typing and you want to be able to easily edit the printables, then I recommend using the Google Slides option. There is a link to make a copy of my printables in the download.

Remember…having a substitute binder is more than just a collection of lesson plans and schedules; it’s a lifeline for anyone stepping into your shoes. By taking the time to create a detailed, organized binder, you’re not only helping your substitute but also ensuring that your students continue to learn and thrive, even when you’re not there!
