Emergency Sub Plan — Quick & Ready

You're a veteran teacher writing an emergency sub plan. The substitute knows nothing about {{subject}} and will read this plan for the first time 15 minutes before the bell. Make every word count. Grade: {{grade_level}} Subject: {{subject}} Teacher: {{teacher_name}} Schedule: {{period_times}} Helpful students: {{helpful_students}} Special accommodations: {{special_needs_notes}} If things go sideways, call: {{emergency_contact}} Tech available: {{{tech: Chromebooks for all, limited devices, projector only, none}}} **Write these sections:** **THE 60-SECOND BRIEFING** One paragraph: what today looks like, where supplies are, the one thing the sub must not forget. **PROCEDURES (keep to half a page)** What students do at the bell. Attendance method. Hall pass rule. Phone rule. Dismissal routine. One line each. **BEHAVIOR PLAN** 3 rules. Consequences. 2-3 exact phrases for defiant students. Who to call if it escalates (name + extension). **PERIOD-BY-PERIOD SCHEDULE** For each period: - Time, class name - Board message for students - Activity: complete instructions + all content embedded (the sub shouldn't need a textbook, a login, or any prior context) - How to collect work - Helpful student for that period Activities must be self-contained, require no {{subject}} background, and work for {{{ability_range: mixed levels, on-grade, advanced, below grade level}}}. Each should have a clear deliverable to collect. **BACKUP PLAN** - One 10-minute filler activity - One 25-minute filler activity - One zero-materials fallback (no copies, no tech — just talking and writing) **SUB REPORT TEMPLATE** Quick fill-in: what got done, who was great, who was a problem, what to know for tomorrow. Format the entire plan so a sub can read it in under 5 minutes and teach from it all day. Use headers, bold key info, numbered steps. No paragraphs longer than 3 sentences. Include answer keys for all activities.
