Module 8 · Substitute Coverage

Module 8 of 8 · Teamwork and coverage

Make the handoff reliable

Your goal: adapt to a new site or co-leader without losing the routine, safety, or lesson goal.

Before you cover a class

  • Confirm your assignment in the Leader App and read the exact lesson in Learn.
  • Use the assigned Slack group channel to confirm materials, site contacts, classroom routines, and relevant student support information through authorized routes.
  • Confirm supervision responsibilities, bathroom procedures, emergency contacts, and dismissal arrangements with site staff.

Agree with your co-leader

Before class, decide who leads each part, who distributes materials, and who tracks movement/attendance. If instructions differ, resolve them before the demonstration. Do not change your partner’s activity mid-lesson without coordinating—unless immediate action is needed to stop a hazard.

Adapt with purpose

Keep the assigned objective and safety rules. Adjust pacing, examples, or supported practice to the group. Ask for approval when a change affects the planned program, materials, or site arrangements.

Close the loop

Complete the site check-in and feedback report. Post a short handoff in the assigned group channel: what you covered, what worked, and what the next leader needs. Use the approved confidential route for sensitive student details.

Pause and practice

Your co-leader starts changing your planned experiment while you are teaching. What should you do?

Check your response

Pause to address any immediate hazard. Otherwise coordinate calmly, clarify the agreed steps, and avoid contradicting each other in front of students. Maintain supervision and settle remaining differences with operations through the group channel after class.

Before marking this lesson complete: explain the response in your own words. If anything is unclear, ask onboarding@kodely.io before continuing. The practice reveal itself is not a scored answer or a recorded signature.
