Supply teaching can be very difficult - if it's not the students that are being difficult it's the permanent members of staff. Michael Parry provides one hundred ideas on how to handle the pitfalls of being a supply teacher in a primary school. The first twenty ideas are practical such as how to act in the staffroom and what equipment is needed to get through the day. The remaining sections each deal with a subject and include ideas such as warm up activities and how to carry on the topic if faced with more than one lesson with a class.
