REQUEST FOR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS PROCEDURES

These procedures will allow teams to request substitute teachers when teacher/researchers are absent or involved in national mission activities.

  1. Any unit needing a substitute teacher must contact the Lead Teacher on their team. The Lead Teacher informs the MSSD Program Manager. The request may be in person, by telephone, in writing on a Substitute Request Form, or via e-mail. The request must include the following information:
    • Lead Teacher's Name
    • Team
    • The reason a substitute is needed
    • A specific request for a substitute (if any)
  2. The MSSD Program Manager contacts a substitute teacher. (If a specific request is made, every effort is made to contact this individual first.)
  3. The MSSD Program Manager confirms the assignment with the Lead Teacher.
  4. Substitute teachers are expected to arrive promptly at 8:15 a.m. and to sign in on the "Sub List" at the MSSD Program Manager's office.
  5. After signing in, substitute teachers report to the Lead Teacher of the assigned team.
  6. Lead Teachers are expected to provide lesson plans and any instructions for carrying out the day's activities. After receiving instructions from the Lead Teacher, the substitute teacher assumes responsibility for assigned classroom activities and works with the team throughout the day. (A 30-minute lunch break should be provided.) The substitute teacher is expected to remain with the team until 3:45 p.m.
  7. At the end of the day, the substitute teacher reports to the MSSD Program Manager's office and completes a time card.
  8. Time cards are retained in the MSSD Program Manager's office. The MSSD Program Manager's office is responsible for ensuring that time cards are appropriately completed and for forwarding time card information to the Personnel/Budget Office in accordance with the bi-weekly payroll schedule.
