Substitute Coverage for New Teachers
Substitute Coverage for New Teachers
We are excited to offer substitute coverage to support new teacher growth and development!
In addition to the coverage needed for our New Teacher PD release days, teachers/coaches can request up to 2 release days per year using our NTSD budget. Note: This limit does NOT apply for those taking release days for the ACOE credential programs, since ACOE will be reimbursing OUSD for the cost of sub coverage.
Administrator approval is needed PRIOR to booking your sub.
OUSD's New Teacher Support & Development Team can provide substitute coverage for the following:
Peer observation (coachees observing their coach or other colleagues)
Coach observation of coachee
Coach/Coachee coaching time
Model teaching
Additional unit/lesson planning time for new teachers
New teacher professional development
Credentialing requirements
Instructions for Booking Your Sub with NTSD's Budget
When booking your substitute on Frontline...
Select "Professional Development" or "Observation/Planning" under Reasons for Absence.
In the notes, ask your site admin to select the "New Teacher Support & Development" budget code option when approving the absence. This will ensure no personal time is taken off your record and that you are paid for the work day.
