High School Business Sub Plans, Week Long Emergency Sub Plans, No Prep, 5 Days, 62 Pages

Out for a week? Every business period is planned, Monday to Friday. These business sub plans give your substitute five days of Introduction to Business review, one set per day for every period, ready as emergency sub plans, long term sub plans or a no prep sub binder for high school business and CTE classes. Each set is a business review packet with worked examples, practice and a challenge on entrepreneurship, marketing, business math and break-even, management and the business plan, plus team tasks, optional business review games, a daily business vocabulary block and answer keys, so a sub with no business background can run it. No tech needed. Print and go for a planned absence, a sub tub, a substitute teacher binder, or emergency lesson plans on a sick day.

Perfect For

• A full week out: sick leave, a conference, jury duty, a family emergency
• A sub who does not know your subject or your class
• Teachers with several Business sections: one set covers every period that day
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it
• Long term subs who need a first week that runs itself

How It Works

1. Print the binder and leave it on your desk. The week plan on page 4 is already filled in, with page numbers and minutes for every set.
2. Monday’s set runs in every period you teach on Monday, Tuesday’s set on Tuesday, and so on. The calm vocabulary block fits any gap, the team task fills a block period, and the game is optional fun for the last 15 minutes.
3. Every set stands alone, so the plan is only a sample order: swap sets between days, or use one with another class when it fits. Each set opens with a line that says what it reviews.
4. Every answer is in the key, so the sub needs no subject knowledge.
5. Prefer your own order? A blank weekly schedule is included.
