chool districts across the state are finding it increasingly difficult to hire and retain sufficient numbers of qualified substitute teachers. In an attempt to deal with this issue, Wisconsin enacted a rule allowing school districts to hire non-certified teachers as substitutes. To be issued a (3-year short term) permit, however, these individuals must hold a bachelor's degree (from an accredited college), receive appropriate training, and be sponsored by a school district.

This seminar, endorsed by DPI, will fulfill the training qualifications required for non-certified teachers, as well as provide the necessary training to improve their effectiveness.

The presenters, Sherry and Sandy, are substitute teachers themselves. This one-day comprehensive training presents a positive, honest, and accurate account of what it really means to be a substitute teacher.

Seminar topics include:

·        Discipline/Classroom Management Techniques

·        Important Health and Safety Information

·        Expectations from the Classroom Teacher

·        Special Education Concerns

·        Sample Emergency Lesson Plans

·        Networking and Questions from Participants

·        An Explanation of the Application Process

Please note: There is a minimum of 25 (and maximum of 40) participants to run this class
