Are interns allowed to substitute teach?
The Anchorage School District requires substitute teachers have a Bachelor’s degree. If your intern earned a Bachelor’s degree prior to his or her teacher education program, he or she must meet other appropriate qualifications in accordance with district policy to substitute teach. The College of Education and ASD have jointly agreed on the following requirements: Substituting will be for mentor only. Substituting will be discussed and agreed upon in advance by the mentoring committee (clinical faculty, mentor teacher, principal and intern). Substituting will not occur before the 30-day review. Substituting will be limited to 5 days per school district semester up to a maximum of 10 days total through the end of the Teaching Residency. After completion of the Teaching Residency, interns can sub for up to 7 additional days for their mentor. Interns may not add any unused days from the 10-day allotment before Residency. Substituting may not take precedence over attending university class
