LAWTON Okla_ Lawton Public Schools are putting on a training session for potential substitute teachers.
In an effort to heighten
the quality of instruction by its substitute teachers, Lawton Public Schools
will hold a training session from 1-4 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 24, at the LPS
Professional Development Center, 2209 SW 25th St.
The three-hour session is
mandatory for anyone who wants to be a substitute at an LPS school, and will
cover district policies and provide guidance on how to handle specific classroom
situations. It will also help aspiring substitute teachers learn how to utilize
"Substitute Finder," an automated system that assigns fill-ins to district
schools. Most importantly, the training informs prospective substitutes of the
district's expectations of its teaching staff.
Qualified substitutes can
teach up to 100 school days. That number can increase for those who have
additional education or teacher certification.
To be an LPS substitute, an
applicant must have completed at least 60 credit hours of college instruction,
and have passed a criminal background check.
For more information on the
qualifications necessary to be a substitute teacher, or to register for the
training session, call 580.357.6900 and ask for LPS Substitute
Services.
