The Sub Teachers feature allows your teachers to sub for other teachers when they're absent. While subbing, a teacher can see all the students of the original teacher, along with all the recent lessons for these students.

Enable/disable the feature

As the school owner, you can enable or disable the Sub Teachers feature for your whole school from your profile page: https://app.lessonmate.org/profile


Per-teacher settings

When the feature is enabled teachers will be able to sub for other teachers. You have fine-grain control over which teachers can sub for others and which teachers can be subbed by others.

Admins can change these settings at any time and the change will be reflected immediately in the teacher's dashboard.

Teacher Dashboard

When a teacher is enabled for subbing they see a dropdown of teachers they can sub for at the top of their Teacher Dashboard.

  • Only teachers set to 'Can sub for other teachers' will see the dropdown

  • Only teachers set to 'Can be subbed by other teachers' will appear in the dropdown
