There are many factors that contribute to a substitute's experience when they accept and work an assignment, and that ultimately determine whether or not they'd like to return.  With a persistent and problematic substitute and teacher shortage facing the United States, finding and keeping quality substitues is crucial to the efficiency of schools all across the country.  So what does it take to influence subs to work more frequently, and to choose certain buildings over others when given the option?  An article posted on www.educationworld.com examines just that, and offers four rules for schools to utilize to make sure their best subs elect to return to their buildings.  Take a look, and let us know what some other factors that come into play are when you're considering whether or not to accept an assignment.  What kinds of things are motivating and important to you?
