Before class:
1. Be prepared. Make sure to bring all the materials you need for class, such as your textbooks, notebooks, and pens.
2. Check the syllabus or Google classroom. See if your teacher has left any instructions or assignments for the day.
3. Head to the class and wait for further guidance. Some schools might have substitute teachers or cover-staff that will look after the class. Others might expect students to study in silence until the teacher returns.
During class:
1. Be respectful. Even though your teacher is not there, it's important to be respectful of the substitute or the other adults who may be supervising the classroom.
2. Be on task. Stay focused and work on the assigned work or assignment.
3. Follow the rules: Remember to adhere to the school rules, even in the absence of the regular teacher.
After class:
1. Clean up. Make sure to clean up any mess you made in the classroom, and put away your materials.
2. Follow up. If your teacher has left instructions for you, make sure to complete them and submit them on time.
3. Ask for help. If you have any questions about the material or assignments, don't hesitate to ask for help from a substitute, another teacher, or a classmate.
Remember, a teacher's absence is not an excuse to misbehave or skip out on your responsibilities. By following these tips, you can show that you are a responsible and respectful student.
