A good sub is hard to find: Establishing a substitute referral system

Abstract

Finding and keeping good substitute child care workers is a problem that touches everyone in the field: teachers, administrators, resource and referral workers, and of course, the subs themselves. This article is addressed to all these groups in the hope that coordinated efforts can lead to better practices and new solutions. Below, you will find information on what's causing the substitute “crisis” and how community agencies around the country are responding.
