Are you a casual relief teacher in need of resources to use across all stages? Look no further, I’ve got you!
After quite a few years away from schools, I’ve found myself back in the classroom again and realized I needed resources that are easy to grab-and-use for all ages and stages. So, I started making my own and built up a good bank so far. I will keep adding to it as I have new ideas and new content to cover.
I’ve compiled them all here for easy reference for myself and also for fellow casual relief teachers. Most of these resources are about reviewing prior knowledge of students making it perfect for a casual teacher that only cover the class for that one day.
The resources are not free as I have spent hours putting them together. Thank you for understanding this and for your support. Please do not share copies around. Rather send colleagues to this post if they are interested in the resources.
