Substitute Teacher Handoff Toolkit: Printable Planning Forms for Classroom Teachers

Make your next absence easier to prepare for—and leave your substitute a clear plan to follow.

The Substitute Teacher Handoff Toolkit helps classroom teachers organize lesson directions, daily routines, classroom information, and follow-up notes in one practical place. Complete the preparation forms before your absence, then leave the feedback pages for your substitute to record what happened during the day.

Inside this 22-page toolkit:

• Classroom snapshot, daily schedule, and essential routines
• Reusable lesson-planning template
• Classwide support notes and office contact information
• Backup and change-of-plan card
• Teacher preparation and substitute morning checklists
• End-of-day handoff report
• Optional detailed logs for lesson completion, materials, incidents, and follow-up questions

Print only the pages you need, reuse the templates for future absences, and give your substitute a consistent place to find directions and leave useful feedback.
