Being a supply teacher has its ups and downs – by Sharon Wood.

Supply teaching can be a potentially isolating career. Flitting between schools, it is not always easy to build professional relationships. In much the same way as peripatetic teachers may feel somewhat nomadic, so supply teachers can feel as if they lead a migratory existence.
