Ending the day is just as important as the start of it.
Ending the day in the classroom
Please remember that as a supply teacher it is your responsibility to leave all teaching areas safe, clean and tidy. Make sure the classroom is empty of any rubbish as a result of your lesson. In addition to this you must always ensure that you have returned all keys, fobs, books and other equipment to the relevant member of staff or designated area within the school.
Remember to say goodbye
We recommend taking the time to say ‘thank you and goodbye’ to the headteacher, a senior member of staff or the school’s supply contact when you leave the school at the end of the day or your assignment. Making a positive lasting impression will help the school to remember you and will prompt them to ask you to return.
Leave feedback for the next teacher
We suggest leaving completed lesson feedback sheets with the school supply contact (copies of feedback sheets are available to download on our website).
Please always remember to sign out of the school visitor’s book.
In short, your end of day check-list is :
- Classroom check
- Keys, fobs, books returned
- ‘Thank you’, ‘goodbye’
- Complete feedback
- Sign out
