Not Just a Warm Body: Today's Substitute Teacher

Presentation Category: 
Mentor and Internship Programs
Session Type: 
CA Career Pathways Session
Presentation Description: 
Throughout a student’s educational years K-12, it is estimated that they will spend the equivalent of an entire year with a substitute teacher. Training and support for these most marginalized members of the education community is almost nonexistent. I am proposing a session addressing this concern.
Describes Your Focus: 
Support Systems for Students and Teachers (for example: career guidance, counseling, academic support, peer support, transition programs, advisories, AVID-like programs, etc.; and support for the teaching team such as team curriculum retreats, development of professional learning communities, and professional development opportunities)

Session Time

Monday 1:15pm to 2:30pm
Venue: Sacramento Convention Center
Room: 105
