After a very busy holiday season, Mike and Glen have finally managed to make their way back to the studio for an all-new episode of the Hotline. After apologizing for their extended absence, they jump right back into listener emails. The first emailer asks how she should handle replacing a popular teacher who is going on maternity leave. We know a thing or two about extended leave (cough cough). The second email asks how to respond to the job interview questions concerning classroom management. Thanks for listening, and come visit our Facebook group:

This week’s theme is preparing for the unexpected. What if something happens to you, the teacher? Have you prepared emergency lesson plans in case you suddenly have to call in sick or miss work for personal reasons? Even if you know you’ll be out of school ahead of time, what constitutes a good substitute lesson plan? We talk about the important elements you should include to make the sub’s day as hassle-free as possible. This week’s listener email asks what teachers are expected to do during a fire drill. We give you some advice that’ll help you keep a cool head and ensure your kids are safe.
