Let’s Build Your Relief Teacher Toolkit!

Even the most organised and well-prepared teachers rarely have their emergency absence binders ready to go! It’s not that they don’t plan ahead, but life happens. Instead of waiting until you wake up sick to put together a relief teacher binder, make it easy on yourself and do it now!

A relief teacher folder is the foundation of your class and can keep your relief teachers feeling prepared with all the information they need to be successful. Creating your binder and including your classroom plans and information helps ensure classroom continuity when you are absent. We’ve created an editable and printable Relief Teacher Binder Template to help keep your classroom on track while you are away.
