They are responsible for implementing lesson plans, maintaining classroom management, and facilitating a positive learning environment. Substitute teachers are also expected to adhere to all school policies and procedures, and they often need to adapt quickly to different classroom settings and teaching subjects, necessitating good adaptability and flexibility skills.
