Requirements for Substitutes

 
SUBSTITUTE TEACHING

The substitute teacher is an important member of the Robstown ISD team. A substitute can ensure the uninterrupted educational progress of students in the absence of a regular teacher. The substitute is expected to implement the instructional plans left by the teacher. In the absence of the regular teacher, the substitute is the professional in the classroom who will teach, keep accurate records, maintain a positive learning environment, and make decisions appropriate to all situations that may arise. The use of good judgment in the classroom is critical to success.
