STEDI.ORG TIP OF THE MONTH: RULE 25
When meeting new people shake hands and repeat their names. Many people say, "I'm just not good with names." To some, this translates to, "I don't care enough about you to remember your name."
Students may feel the same way if you don't make an effort to get to known them, at least on this surface level. They will recognize the effort you are making and perhaps exert some effort in return. For more helpful tips check out the STEDI website https://stedi.org/.

SubSuggestions STEDI.ORG: Tips from Substitute Teachers on Staying Healthy
Remember, these tips are from teachers, not from healthcare professionals.
- Wash Hands
- Sleep
- Exercise
- Get flu shot.
- Although my school is now equipped with hand sanitizer, I also carry a small bottle in my sub bag for easy access.
- Eliminate soda drinks from your daily regiment and keep coffee to one or two cups (8oz) a day.
- Drink lots of water throughout the day. Take at least 32 oz of water with you to school and make it a goal to finish it by the end of the day.
- Catch everything once, then you won’t get sick again.
- I take EmergenC every day.
- Ride a bicycle to work. Meaning, get some exercise.
- When traveling about a busy high school filled with 3,500 students, if there are two doors going to a hallway, always open the left door. There is some real logic to this! Since most people are right handed, these doorknobs (left ones) get used the least amount (just look at the way the paint wears). This is true also for entering malls.
- Keep the door open and heater on even if just vent and to keep fresh air in room.
