Overview
This bill changes the requirements for obtaining an emergency career substitute teaching permit in California. Currently, applicants needed to verify 90 days of substitute teaching experience. Now, teachers can qualify by completing at least 5 hours of professional development, an orientation training, and being assigned a teaching mentor. The bill also outlines requirements for renewing the permit and how local educational agencies must handle assignments of these substitute teachers, including reporting requirements.
Key provisions
- Substitute teachers can qualify for the permit through professional development, orientation training, and a mentor program instead of 90 days of substitute teaching.
