[quote=Anonymous]Exactly! I always provided sub plans or the emergency plans were kept with an admin in the front office or clearly labeled in the classroom. The subs NEVER followed the plans. DC has horrible subs and they do hire any warm body. In Maryland the subs will attempt to follow the plans. If one of my colleagues doesn't have emergency plans then one of us will provide them for the subs.  [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this because I am a dc substitute. I have my teaching degree and years of classroom experience. I became a substitute because of my child’s health problems, this schedule giving me flexibility.

I have been subbing in dcps for 3 years. I have been given sub plans ONE time. Out of three school years.

There are some very involved parents on dcum. You should ask your principal if they require sub plans because it is the norm to not get anything from a teacher. [/quote]

On the other hand I have always been required to have a week's worth of emergency plans (can be used any day, so if I drop dead on the way to school there are plans) and to leave daily plans when I know I will be out. After spending hours planning and assembling materials, I have not once had them used. Once a sub said they couldn't find them sitting on my desk with a neon pink "sub plans" cover sheet. One time a sub told me she never follows the plans she just likes to do her own thing. Other times plans sit there totally untouched. Once kids went on tablets and reported to another teacher that kids were viewing porn. In Maryland my subs almost always followed my plans, with of course rare occasion. In DCPS they hire anyone who will be a body in the room.

At what schools didn't you receive plans?[/quote][/quote]
