I have subbed for a couple of years now and have never been designated a preferred sub am I just not a great sub?
In the beginning, when I started subbing, I was new to all of this, so I probably canceled more often. But for the last three years, I have rarely canceled. I follow lesson plans, help students wherever I can. But I’ve never been put on a preferred sub list or specifically asked back. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I always leave a note with my name and number.
I’ve also noticed that over the past two years, I don’t see many jobs from certain schools. I’ll get to a particular school, look at the sign-in sheet, and see that many teachers are out, but none of those jobs were posted on Frontline for me. All of those absences can’t realistically be covered only by preferred subs and building subs. I think I am being filtered out. What am I doing wrong?
