 "Being a substitute is more than being a babysitter or warm
body in the classroom. They need to be informed, qualified
individuals who can contribute to the child's safety and
wellbeing. They deserve the respect and support of the
administration, teachers, students and parents.
"A
substitute teacher
is a person who
teaches
a
school
class when the regular teacher is unavailable; e.g.,
because of illness, personal leave, or other
reasons. "Substitute teacher" is the most commonly
used phrase in the
United States,
Canada
and
Ireland,
while
supply teacher
is the most commonly used term in the
United Kingdom.
Common synonyms for substitute teacher include
relief teacher
(used in
Australia
and
New Zealand),
"emergency teacher" (used in the
United States),
and "sub" (used in the
United States
and
Canada)
. Regional variants in terminology are common, such
as the use of the term
teacher on call T.O.C.
in the Canadian
province
of
British Columbia
and
occasional or supply
teacher in the Canadian
province
of
Ontario."
