How Do I Become a Substitute Teacher?

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

* All substitutes (teacher and support staff) must complete an application on the Wisconsin Education Career Access Network (WECAN) website. Certified Staff accounts are for teacher substitutes and Support Staff accounts are for non-teaching substitutes. You must apply to a substitute posting to be considered. 

* Applicants with a bachelor’s degree other than education must take a one-day substitute teacher training class offered by CESA 6. Upon completion of the class, the Neenah Joint School District will consider endorsing your request for a 3-Year Substitute Teacher Permit provided by the Department of Public Instruction. For further information, contact Janet Linke at jlinke@neenah.k12.wi.us.

* You will be contacted by email via the WECAN system if your application has been accepted.

What is Absence Management Software?
Management of staff absences and substitute placement is addressed with an online software solution called Absence Management (formerly AESOP). Absence Management provides a way for staff to request and register their absences with a phone call or by logging in on the web. Substitutes can search for available assignments and be matched and assigned to vacancies based on district preference lists. Administrators use Absence Management to get a clearer view of absence management to ensure effective classroom instruction. Absence Management not only saves countless hours of manual sub-calling, but also offers efficient absence tracking and reporting.
