Starting your first assignment can feel both exciting and a little nerve-wracking — we’ve been there! That’s why we’re thrilled to share a FREE professional learning opportunity designed to help you step into your role with confidence:
👉 Welcome to Substitute Teaching (Free Course) by SubSchool.org
This short, self-paced course gives you practical tips to prepare for your first day (and every day after). We love that it can be done on your time, at your speed, and includes videos from veteran subs sharing what they wish they would have known when they started as a substitute. Consider it like a friend or mentor giving you a pep talk and guidance for your first day!
🧭 Who It’s For
While the course title mentions substitute teaching, don’t let that fool you! The guidance is valuable for all BrightBee support staff roles — whether you’re working in the classroom, cafeteria, playground, or front office. The insights focus on transferable skills like communication, professionalism, and adaptability — all key ingredients to help you shine bright on your first assignment.
