Substitute Policy
The following conditions must be met before a student teacher is permitted to substitute:
- Student teachers may substitute after the completion of student teaching.
- Student teachers must attend district substitute training in order to substitute for their cooperating teacher (after the "day off") or other teachers. They should contact Human Resources to register for the next available substitute training.
- Interns are not permitted to substitute.
Substituting must also adhere to the following program condition:
- Student teachers may be permitted to substitute only after the mid-term point of the semester for a few days.
"Day Off" Policy
LISD does not participate in the “Day Off” compensation for cooperating teachers.
Questions regarding substitute teaching may be directed to Barbara Anderson in the LISD Human Resources Office at (512) 570-0116. You may also find more information on theLeander ISD Substitute Information Web page.
Criminal History Checks
Students in the PDS must be cleared through a criminal history check to observe or student teach in the school district in which they are placed. The check is processed by the district who then informs the Education Services Office or coordinator whether or not the student may have a field placement in the district. Most students will be checked at least twice during the PDS, but additional checks may be required if a student switches districts from semester to semester. The criminal history check process may include completing an online application, a paper form, fingerprinting, or a TB screening test.
Leander ISD runs all applicants through a background check through the Texas Department of Public Safety prior to their application being cleared. If an applicant is hired, they will be required to obtain fingerprinting through the Texas Education Agency.
