Lesson Overview

17.42 – When Substitute Teachers Disrupt Your Routine: Substitute teachers can unintentionally disrupt established comfort zones. The change in tone, structure, or energy can unsettle sensitive students. Ground yourself before class begins with breathing or small affirmations. If directions feel unclear, politely ask for clarification rather than internalizing frustration. Stick to your normal coping tools and focus on the work, not the chaos. If anxiety rises, request a brief pass to reset. Remind yourself that temporary changes don’t erase your progress—they simply test your flexibility. The goal isn’t to avoid substitutes but to practice adapting calmly. Each unpredictable moment strengthens your emotional balance and readiness for life’s constant shifts.
