CTE Emergency Sub Plans

Four self-contained, no-prep activities a substitute can run with zero content expertise, plus a sub cover sheet and a roster page. Print it once and keep it in the drawer for the day you wake up sick.

What’s inside

• 4 self-contained no-prep activities with keys
• A career-research one-pager, an article-and-questions, a case study, and a design task
• A sub cover sheet (routines and what-to-do)
• A roster and behavior-notes page

Why teachers love it

• No logins, no teacher expertise required
• Real CTE content, not a movie
• Print once, keep it ready

How to use it in class

Keep the sub folder in the same drawer all year, labeled and ready. The morning you wake up too sick to teach, you do not have to build a lesson from your phone in bed. Text the front office where the folder lives, and the plan is done: the cover sheet walks a substitute through your routines, the roster flags which students need extra support, and one of the four no-prep activities fills the period with real CTE content instead of a worksheet or a movie. Grab it once in August, and you are covered for every sick day, jury duty summons, or last-minute conference the rest of the year.
