Hi. I am about to start a new job as a cover supervisor in Jan. I have around 10 years of experience as a TA but have not been in the classroom for the past 2 years. Just wondering if there is anyone on here that is a CS or teacher that would be happy to share some tips to get me started. I have always had good classroom management but with pupils that already knew me. I realise that I will be on the back foot to start!

Any Cover Supervisors out there?

Schools are very stretched right now and teachers sending in cover work from home, at 7 in the morning, when they're ill, is never going to result in an amazing, detailed lesson plan!
they shouldnt be setting work at all

I agree re setting work, but who should do it? I at work at 7. There is no.way if I'm.teaching all day that I can set work.for an absent colleague who is also teaching all day. Might be easier for some subjects. Teach foreign languages. It puts some people off having time off as setting cover is a nightmare. We trying to create some stand alone lessons
