A substitute teacher, as the name implies, works in the absence of regular teacher. Substitute teachers teach the students, monitor students' progress, assign homework and collect copies, maintain discipline in the classroom, present reports to administration and parents and assist in other classroom activities as assigned.

You also need to be passionate for this profession and learn how to adjust with different students while maintaining a proper learning environment. You also need to understand that every student is blessed with different learning capacity and you need to teach him/her in an efficient manner to help him/her learn.

Subject: Application for the job of Substitute Teacher advertised on Teachers Employment Journal
Dear Jacqueline,
I am writing this application to tell you that I am eager to join your school as a substitute teacher. I am an experienced teacher with exposure to different classroom settings of knowledge of History, English and Political Science.
I am associated as a substitute teacher with Memphis City High School since eight years and I have been teaching students in different grades. I have been working consistently for the betterment of students by imparting quality education and by teaching moral values in the classroom. I am highly dedicated to this profession as it allows me to share my knowledge and help in making the students responsible and intelligent citizens.
As a teacher, I understand that every student is unique and it gives me immense pleasure to interact and connect with students of different age groups and cultural backgrounds. Although I maintain a personal relationship with most of the students, I make it a point to grade every student solely on their performance and not on the basis of rapport that I may share with the student.
I am sending my credentials and resume along with the application. I can provide experience certificate and reference letters during the interview. Please contact me at my telephone number or e-mail id for further communication. I express my gratitude that you took time to read my application and I look forward to receive a positive reply from your end.
Yours sincerely,
Anita Fernandez
