How to Flip Your Sub Plans

Jennifer Borel | September 9, 2016

We all have times when we need to take a sick day at the last minute. When those moments occur, it is nice to have a sub tub on hand to ease our minds. But sometimes we know ahead of time that we’ll be out. In those cases, I’m a fan of flipping my sub plans.

Flipping your sub plans allows you to return to school without missing a beat. Students love that they can continue working on their projects and subs love that they don’t have to stress about teaching something new.

If you have some pre-planned absences coming up, I encourage you to watch the video and see just how easy it is to flip your plans!
