Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yes, that's it. Supply teachers work either for the Local Education Authority (LEA), or an agency. Schools do try and cover staff absence in school (many schools employ cover supervisers for that), but if they have too many people off, or if someone is off for a while, they phone the agency, then the agency phones the supply teachers to see who can go there. I will get some where I'm in a school just for a day, but you can also get long term placements - a friend is on supply in one school for a year on maternity cover - or a few weeks at a time. I'm also going to be getting some days in a SEN school as a teaching assistant. Jenn Tha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...! Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me. I'm starting as a supply teacher soon - I'm just waiting for references - but it's a pity that that won't be ready for Monday, as lots of schools are going to need supply, as many schools have teachers who are stuck abroad. do It is now coming down in quite a few places, though the advice about what to do, especially for those with respiratory problems, is a bit vague and contradictory. It's nice and warm and sunny at the moment, so I'll carry on going out until they specifically tell me not to! Jenn Tha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...!
