What is subbing?

Subbing, or substitute teaching, refers to the practice of stepping in to teach a class when the regular teacher is absent or unable to teach for a period of time. Substitutes may work in a variety of educational settings, including public and private schools, colleges, and universities. They are responsible for following the lesson plans and instructions left by the regular teacher, maintaining classroom discipline and order, and ensuring a safe and productive learning environment for the students. Subbing can be a flexible and rewarding job for those who enjoy teaching and working with children, but it can also require strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills to handle unexpected challenges and ensure a smooth transition for the students.
