It is strongly recommended that all UCI student teachers apply for a Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit. The UCI policy is that you may only substitute teach for your mentor teacher. Local districts are telling us that, in case of future school closures, having a sub permit will facilitate your participation in distance learning.

When you have been given your placement information, your next step is to apply for a substitute teacher position through the district. One nice benefit is you have the potential to make up the $54 by subbing one day, then make a little extra money after that.
Once you have this substitute teaching permit and know your school placement, you need to apply for a substitute position through your district. Student teachers are eligible to substitute only for their mentor teacher.

*You do not need to go through the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) to obtain this substitute teaching permit. Contact your county office of education or you may apply directly through the CTC using the link above.
**CBEST or equivalent should apply. For those of you who used the ACT scores in place of the CBEST, ACT no longer sends out official score reports. A student called the OCDE and they said they will accept the printed page of the scores from the online ACT account.
