Dr. Ronald Beghetto, Jill Vialet, and Amanda von Moos discuss rethinking substitute teaching, and the positive impact these teachers can have on schools and students.
Dr. Ronald Beghetto is joined by Jill Vialet and Amanda von Moos of Substantial Classrooms to discuss the opportunity that exists (and is necessary) to rethink substitute teaching. Von Moos and Vialet invite listeners to reimagine substitute teaching, providing ideas about the impact that these individuals can have on school climate, students’ lives, and more. Substitute teachers are present for roughly 10% of a student’s education, and by recognizing substitutes for their professionalism and varied areas of expertise, the school community benefits.
