Day-to-Day Substitute Teacher

  
A Day-to-Day Substitute Teacher requires an Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).
 
This permit authorizes the holder to serve as a Day-to-Day substitute teacher in any classroom, including preschool, kindergarten, and grades 1–12 inclusive. The holder may serve as a substitute for no more than 30 days for any one teacher during the school year, except in a special education classroom, where the holder may serve for no more than 20 days for any one teacher during the school year. This permit is valid for one year and is renewable.
 
You decide which daily assignments work best with your schedule. You can work any day of the week and at any level/s (elementary, middle, or high school) of your choice.

Long Term Substitute Teacher

 
A Long Term Substitute Teacher is authorized to teach more than 30 Days for any one teacher during the school year. It requires a Single Subject Credential, Multiple Subject Credential or an Education Specialist Credential depending on the subject the individual will be teaching. 
 
If the educator does not hold one of the credentials listed above, SRVUSD can apply for an Emergency Teaching Permit for Statutory Leave (TPSL) from the CTC.  This permit allows SRVUSD to fill a position where the teacher of record is unable to teach due to a statutory leave with a temporary teacher of record for the duration of the leave.
 
Responsibilities and Duties include:
Lesson planning, team collaboration, grading, parent/teacher conferences, and other site base needs.
 
Note: An SRVUSD TPSL permit also acts as a 30-Day Sub Permit which allows the educator to be a Day-to-Day Substitute Teacher only in SRVUSD.  
 
TPSL Requirements for Current SRVUSD Substitute Teachers:
  • California Teaching Credential or an Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit
  • Official transcripts of Bachelor's Degree and/or Masters

    • Multiple Subject: a degree major in liberal studies or 40 semester units including 10 semester units of coursework in each of at least four of the subject areas or passage of subject matter examination (CSETS) for the Multiple Subject Credential
    • Eduation Specialist: Complete the requirements for the Single Subject or Multiple Subject as listed above, or verify a minimum of one year of successful full-time classroom experience, or the equivalent in part-time experience with special education students, or verify a minimum of nine semester units of coursework in special education or in a combination of special education and general education
  • Completed District Substitute Training
 If interested, please apply on Informed K12
 
If you wish to be considered for a long term assignment we encourage you to apply for a TPSL permit via Informed K12 Only current SRVUSD substitutes can apply for a TPSL.
