Editing How to Be a Better Relief Teacher (section)

=== Preparation and Organization ===

'''1. Create an emergency kit'''
Assemble a collection of versatile lesson plans, activities, and resources that can be adapted for different grade levels and subjects[1]. This kit should include:
- General worksheets and printables
- Early finisher tasks 
- Get-to-know-you activities
- Subject-specific resources
- A few children's books or short stories

Having these materials on hand allows you to quickly adapt to unexpected situations or fill extra time[6].

'''2. Arrive early'''
Get to the school with plenty of time to:
- Familiarize yourself with the school layout
- Review lesson plans and materials left by the regular teacher
- Locate essential items like keys, attendance sheets, and emergency procedures[16]

'''3. Review school policies'''
Ask for copies of relevant documents like:
- Student code of conduct
- Playground duty roster
- List of key staff contacts
- School map[16]
