What educators are saying..."Why this book wasn't written sooner is besides me. This is a wonderful book....I found that I could use this in screening the potential substitutes to see if they are qualified enough to sub in our school district."
Tia M. Howe, Yarmouth School Department
"I appreciate [the book's] practical suggestions and practices....I would purchase it for myself and recommend it to any new substitute I come into contact with. It would be a valuable resource for personal use and as a district training tool."
Kelly Daily, Southwestern School District
