Those who prefer to study the course materials in print we also offer this training in hard copy format.  Select OPTION B from our shopping cart to purchase the SubSkills™ Handbook Training Package.

Administrators are extremely impressed with
substitute teachers who take it upon themselves to
receive training, particularly those who do
at their own expense.
