Training Requirements for Substitute Teachers

Like all employees of the school system, substitute teachers are expected to engage in ongoing professional development.  Substitute teachers who do not hold a teaching license issued by a state licensing agency must complete Effective Teacher Training, available through local community colleges, within the first year of their employment.  All substitute teachers must participate in a one-day summer workshop each year.
