I begin my adventure as a substitute teacher on Friday, November 13. Last week, I brought home the textbooks for Geometry, Algebra II and Trigonometry. I still don't know enough to be nervous. I guess I'll have to wait to find out where the permanent teacher is on Thursday.
See, my experience is in tutoring a student one-on-one. I've actually been successful. These will be actual classrooms with multiple students in them. Geometry has 20 students. Trigonometry and one student. There are two Algebra II classes with 10-11 students each.
I'm excited though! My biggest concern is not seeing the "light" go on when I explain the subject matter. Anyone, have any suggestions?
If you are interested, I'll be at Southland Christian School. Click on the picture above to go to their website.

Well, I dont know how this will work with high school students....but when I am teaching/explaining a math concept to my fourth graders, I tell them that while I am working/talking through the problem, to raise their hand at the exact point that they dont understand. To not wait until I work the whole problem and then say "I don't get it". Because my response will be what dont ya get? lol... Raise your hand right at that point of not understanding. And they do. and I am able to re-explain at that moment and clear up what they are having trouble with. Now Im not sure how this would work with teenagers and the higher math skills....
I don't have any advice. But will be praying for you. I hope you have fun. Play games. That always helped me learn my math better. :)
How fun--be a cool sub, okay?
