☝WHAT IS A SMART SUB PLAN TEMPLATE?
The template is a Google Slides Doc made up of 26+ slides that cover everything you need your substitute to know. (No HTML skills needed!)
☝HOW DOES THE SMART SUB PLAN TEMPLATE WORK?
You will create a share link of your template in presentation mode. This will make your doc appear almost like a website. No Google login is required to view the template with the share link.
For a fun way to see how quick it is to edit your doc, edit this TpT Autograph Slide here, then check your edits right HERE.
☝HOW DO YOU SHARE THE TEMPLATE LINK WITH THE SUBSTITUTE?
Option 1: Email or message the link.
Option 2: If your school has an online substitute management system, leave it there.
Option 3: Leave a printout for the substitute in your classroom and have them use their phone or a school laptop or iPad to open the plans (printout template provided).

- The template does all the work for you, and provides a ton of details in an organized, accessible manner.
- Except for any additional tasks you add, the digital emergency activities only require something to write on. They are all activities that can be done with social distancing in place.
- Whether it’s a last-minute mental health day or the stomach bug, the Smart Sub Plan Template will make sure you’re set to take the day off without leaving your house.
- These plans will make substitutes fall in love with you! In a world with limited substitutes, these plans will give you a leg up by helping subs feel confident and enjoy their day in your classroom.
Here's what Tamara, a substitute, had to say - "I would LOVE to have this left for me. It shows how much she respects her Sub and will undoubtedly make the Sub feel like a part of the classroom family. It is a wonderful way to build relationships with her Subs (super important right now as Subs are hard to come by) and get them to come back and sub again! Her plans also show her desire to provide the BEST day possible for her Students in ensuring a seamless transition. KUDOS, KUDOS, KUDOS!"
