SUBSTITUTE TEACHER TRAINING

The Carrollton City Schools Substitute Training Course is a two-day workshop designed to provide an orientation to our school system and training in areas critical to success as a substitute teacher. Workshops are held three times a year. A $25 fee for a required background check must be paid upon registration.

Topics covered in the workshop include philosophy of the school system, expectations, medical emergency procedures, classroom management techniques, learning theory and technology. The Substitute Training Course is required for all participants who wish to become a Substitute Teacher in the Carrollton City School System regardless of past substitute training or certificates acquired at other school systems or institutions.

An integral part of the Substitute Training Course is the shadowing component which provides participants with a classroom experience that allows them to gain a better understanding of our philosophy and techniques. The shadowing component is required for all participants who wish to become a substitute teacher in the Carrollton City School System regardless of past substitute training or certificates acquired at other school systems or institutions. (The only exception is if you have worked in the Carrollton City School System for at least three consecutive months as a teacher or paraprofessional within the last three years.)

Substitute teachers are required to have at least a high school diploma or GED. Short-term substitute teachers are paid $70 per day if they have a four-year degree or higher. Substitute teachers with less than a four-year degree are paid $60 per day. The daily rate for long-term substitute teachers varies.
