Substitute Teachers

Substitute teachers are an important part of our educating children. When teachers are out of the classroom due to professional growth and development or other factors, our students deserve the continuity of instruction. Our substitutes carry on that instruction as the teacher.

Currently, substitute teachers must have the following requirements:

You must have at least a high school diploma. Forty-eight (48) semester hours of post high school work is preferred; however, it is not required. A transcript must be provided and completion of the App-Garden University virtual course.

Beginning April 20, 2018...

We are very excited to offer new training for all of our Substitute Teachers in Thomasville City Schools. This will be mandatory training in order to be an approved sub for the 2018-2019 school year.

The VIRTUAL training is offered by the App-Garden University. There are many benefits to you as a sub such as the ability to train anytime and anywhere you have access to internet. It is so important that we as a district keep you current on the board policies and procedures as well as giving you great tips and ideas for being a successful substitute teacher. This training is required of all subs in order for our district to meet compliance requirements.

Thomasville City Schools Effective Substitute Teacher Training and Orientation v.19 $39.00 The Thomasville City Schools Effective Substitute Teacher Training and Orientation is for the first time substitute teacher to Thomasville City Schools. If you have a current teaching license you will not be required to complete the course.

In addition to your district's courses there is an introduction video which explains how to navigate through the courses and how to print your certificate. Watch this video first!

Once you complete this training course you may print a certificate of completion to keep for your record. The district office will be sent a report of your completion and this will also be a record of your intent to sub this year.

You may review the course as many times as you feel necessary within your one year enrollment in the course which begins on the date of the purchase. Once the purchase has been made, you will have immediate access to the course.
