Summary
I feel that my 25 years of teaching in the classroom along with occasional supply teaching over the last years will provide me with a solid skill set needed to fill in as a supply teacher. I have much experience dealing with lesson plans and feel I have a calm approach, which would allow for a good rapport with the students.
