Know the Wisconsin floor (then ignore it)

Minimums get you in the door. The subs who work 4-5 days a week in Madison master what happens after they walk in.

Install instant authority routines

The exact voice, posture, and first-2-minute sequence that stops testing before it starts. This is the #1 skill that drives callbacks.

3

Grade-flexible moves that keep kids learning instead of pushing boundaries. Districts notice the subs who actually deliver instruction.

4

Close every assignment like an audition

Reset the room + leave the one-sentence note that makes coordinators and teachers put your name on the list for next time in Madison.
