Relief Teacher Social Story

Help learners understand and prepare for having a relief teacher with this supportive social story.

It teaches key expectations, including:

• Understanding that sometimes their usual teacher may be away
• Knowing that another teacher may come to help the class
• Recognising that some parts of the day may feel a little different
• Following the relief teacher’s instructions and usual classroom routines
• Using calming strategies, such as taking deep breaths or asking for help, if they feel worried or unsure

Perfect for supporting predictability, flexibility, emotional regulation, and confidence when there is a change of teacher at school.
