WHAT is subbing work?
A substitute is called in, often at short notice, to replace a teacher who is absent due to illness. It can also be for longer-term cover, such as maternity leave.
So, what's the difference between subbing work and a temporary teaching position?
Temporary usually refers to replacement of someone on unpaid leave, such as a career break, or filling a non-permanent post, such as English language teaching.
What is the principal supposed to do if a teacher calls in sick early in the morning?
Fill the position and get a teacher in front of the class. If it's a sudden one-day absence, the class may have to be split between the other teachers in the school, but any longer and a sub must be found.
