As a substitute teacher, you will be responsible for carrying out the lesson plans of the regularly appointed teacher for whom you would be substituting.  Your goal will be to adhere to the learning environment that would exist if the regular teacher were in the classroom.

Substitute Teacher Service, STS, is proud to announce the implementation of the STS/IU-13 Guest Teacher Program.  This program allows those who have a 4 year degree to take an online training program that would prepare them for teaching in the classroom as a day to day substitute teacher. Candidates will be issued an emergency certificate to work in the district(s) of their choice. The emergency certificate can be renewed every school year.

Substitute Teacher Service, (STS) has openings for nurses who will be responsible for the medical supervision and health care of students and staff in the assigned school.

The Act 86 Program, effective summer of 2016, allows current students enrolled in a Pennsylvania accredited college or university pursuing teacher certification to work as a substitute teacher.  The program is designed for student teachers to gain experience in the classroom for a maximum of twenty days per school year.
