Topics covered will be behavior management, developing substitute teaching packets with suitable materials, effective strategies for students with learning disabilities, procedures for emergency situations, legal issues and more.

Each session will be held from 9 a.m.-4:15 p.m. on the UNC Asheville campus. Cost for each session is $95. The required textbook is the Substitute Teacher Handbook, K-12, seventh edition, available at the UNC Asheville Bookstore for $26.88. Teachers and substitutes are advised to check with their school system to determine local requirements.
