    This document summarizes a research project seeking to improve success with substitute teachers. The researcher used surveys, interviews, and document analysis to gather information. Key findings included that education and training for substitute teachers could be improved, as well as better access to lesson plans and classroom materials. Surprisingly, classroom management was often cited in literature but not mentioned by research participants. Next steps include discussing a standardized substitute folder policy, increasing substitute teacher professional development, and credential training timeframes. The overall goal is to change perceptions of substitute teachers and see them as more than just classroom chaos.
