Sub Binder: Schedules, Accommodations and Classroom Routines, High School

This SPED sub binder gives a substitute in a secondary SPED or transition room what they need to run the day: today's schedule with para coverage, where things are, accommodation quick lists, routines, community outing plans, where the emergency information lives, and an end of day note.

Why I made this: Subs in our rooms do fine when they know what happens when, who needs what, and where things are, and when they know to lean on the paras. Most sub binders skip the SPED specifics. These pages fill that gap, with private information kept in a pocket instead of on the desk.

What's included:

• Cover and teacher setup page

• Welcome: how this room runs

• Today's schedule and para coverage

• Where things are, with a room map box

• Student information pocket instructions

• Accommodation quick list by class period

• Routines: arrival and transitions

• Routines: lunch and dismissal

• Routine: community outing or job site day

• Emergency information: where it is

• End of day note to the teacher

How I use it: Fill it in once, then update monthly. Keep private information in a labeled pocket folder, not on the open pages. Write for someone who has never been in your room. Tell your paras where the binder is. Leave the end of day note form on top.

How it fits with my other products: My Substitute Teacher Behavior Pages for Your Sub Binder | Editable Sub Folder covers behavior for your sub folder. This binder covers the rest: schedules, accommodations, and routines. It does not repeat behavior pages. Use them together.
