Book excerpt: **A New York Times Bestseller** “May be the most revealing depiction of the American contemporary classroom that we have to date." —Garret Keizer, The New York Times Book Review Bestselling author Nicholson Baker, in pursuit of the realities of American public education, signed up as a substitute teacher in a Maine public school district. In 2014, after a brief orientation course and a few fingerprinting sessions, Nicholson Baker became an on-call substitute teacher in a Maine public school district. He awoke to the dispatcher’s five-forty a.m. phone call and headed to one of several nearby schools; when he got there, he did his best to follow lesson plans and help his students get something done. What emerges from Baker’s experience is a complex, often touching deconstruction of public schooling in America: children swamped with overdue assignments, overwhelmed by the marvels and distractions of social media and educational technology, and staff who weary themselves trying to teach in step with an often outmoded or overly ambitious standard curriculum. In Baker’s hands, the inner life of the classroom is examined anew—mundane worksheets, recess time-outs, surprise nosebleeds, rebellions, griefs, jealousies, minor triumphs, kindergarten show-and-tell, daily lessons on everything from geology to metal tech to the Holocaust—as he and his pupils struggle to find ways to get through the day. Baker is one of the most inventive and remarkable writers of our time, and Substitute, filled with humor, honesty, and empathy, may be his most impressive work of nonfiction yet.

Download or read book A Substitute Teacher Day Is Not a Free Day written by Morie M. Saffa and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains 9 Chapters. It begins with my experiences starting out as a young child growing up in a remote town in Sierra Leone to illiterate parents as the first in our family to attend a western style school system that had been introduced by the British colonialist.I narrated the experiences from the primary school years through secondary school and up to higher education level at Rutgers University here in the U.S.A. A lot of emphasis was provided on the draconian and abusive style of teaching that was meted in the elementary school systems those times. Subsequently my narrative continued with my experiences with the students in the American elementary educational system in the State of New Jersey where I became a Substitute Teacher. My American experience emphasized on the cultural differences and shock that I encountered from the condescending mentality held by the young American children about Africa and Africans, and how that mentality impeded my smooth entry into the world of substitute teaching in America. The American experience starts with some discomforting experiences at the university in terms of the imminent financial problems that almost destabilized my opportunity to continue my education in the United States. Then the story continued with my early substitute teaching experiences and how I got exposed to the idiosyncratic mentalities of the elementary and secondary school children who turned out to be more of a challenge than I bargained for including problems that resulted from the unpredictable expectations between me and those young but tough “American” kids. I provided detailed narratives of some of the culture encounters and clashes with the young kids when I met them for the first time. I went on to talk about my slow adjustment to the ways and expectations of the children and the system, in what I considered to be the unsung trials and tribulations of substitute teaching. The last two chapter provide for a comparative analysis and expectations of the American educational structure in terms of its apparent successes and failures and suggestions as to its improvement. I emphasized on the problems posed by students, teachers, parents, administrators and public officials like politicians and Substitute Teachers in classroom interactions that contribute to the general educational problems.I refuse to accept that, while being the richest and most advanced country in the world, we have to take a secondary position to any other country in the world in the quality of our educational capabilities. I advanced the argument that there is no reason why we can have the best higher educational institutions in the world, yet we cannot have the best elementary and secondary institutions in the world which are the sources from which the higher educational institutions are fed with students. My argument tries to highlight the possibility that certain aspects of our elementary and secondary school administrations and policies are to blame for the breach that exists in the continuum from elementary schools to the colleges and universities.

Book excerpt: Substitute teaching is one of the least glamorous areas of the teaching profession. Everyone remembers the day their class made the sub cry or refused to do work the sub assigned, or worse, because the teacher was "just a sub". This book focuses the reader's attention on the problems faced by a substitute teacher in Canadian classrooms. The purpose of this book is threefold. First, it describes some of the difficulties and frustrations which many substitute teachers face on a daily basis. Second, I give brief examples describing the problems, the frustrations and, in some cases, the humour as seen by a real substitute teacher. And third, in a section called, "In a Perfect World", I provide suggestions outlining ways that many of the difficulties described could be alleviated, either by the classroom teacher, the school administration, or by the school board staff.

Not only does it include quality information for a successful substitute day, but also provides reproducible lessons that meet STATE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS. In the past, substitute teachers have often been regarded as babysitters; to fill an absent teacher's position for a day, week, or even longer. Today, there is an increasing demand for teachers to attend staff development and unit planning workshops. However, it is still critical that students are actively engaged in learning, when a substitute is in the classroom. Books, such as this, in addition to educational workshops and classes, will help substitutes understand classroom practices, school routines, behavior management strategies, curriculum expectations, plus much more. This book will give substitutes an objective look at education in today's schools and what is expected to happen in the classroom. With increased accountability, substitutes become increasingly important in our efforts to ensure students meet high standards. We appreciate and value their efforts in contributing to our student's success. This resource manual is a valuable resource in achieving that aim.
