The Mt. Diablo Unified School District is now hiring substitute teachers for the 2021-22 school year.
Applicants who do not hold a valid CA credential may apply for an Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit if they have earned a bachelor’s degree and meet the basic skills requirement.
More information about becoming a substitute teacher in MDUSD can be found here. If you do not meet the requirement, the District has the option of applying for a waiver.
To submit an application, please click this link: https://rebrand.ly/MDUSDSubs. After your application is received and reviewed, you will be invited to an orientation.
Applying for a 30-Day Sub Permit is done during orientation. Please do not apply for a Sub Permit until that time.
If you have any questions, please email Ashlee Grant at granta@mdusd.org.
Get treated like crap by kids for a living
Sign me up!!!!
@Timmy
Or, you could be one of those hard-to-find outstanding subs that don’t take any crap from kids.
I bet they’re hiring, the union is going to close the schools. 108RS
This is it!
Just what I’ve been looking for.
This sounds like a perfect opportunity for me.
I’ve already filled out the application.
I can’t wait to be called into the orientation.
And then when called to be a substitute, I can say I’m sick.
They can’t put a Band-Aid on this and think it’s going to be all right…
The school system is broke and more ways than one, you cannot fix overnight what has been failing for decades..
I wouldn’t work in that district even if I were living on food stamps. They should rehire that arrested elem music teacher DM if they are so desperate.
Now’s you’re chance, community members who say teachers are garbage and any idiot off the street could do this job! Why just do a one day stint, why not sign up for a long term position, since there are so many unfilled positions! Go on, I know you’re all desperate to say how you can fix the school system with your skills!! This is your big chance, don’t miss it!!
We’re putting our teaching skills together and homeschooling our grandkids just like we did our kids in the ’80s and ’90s. Why the hell would we want to be involved in a public school district geezus that’s like blindfolding yourself and walking off the end of the pier..
.
The bar isn’t that high. Show up, tell the kids to read a book. Hand out candy, Tell jokes, Tell them they are all born haters. Easy day, easy money, call in sick myself the next day, go on disabilty. Yep yep
oh, forgot, wet my pants, say I was scared wetless by a child holding a knife. And on and on and on. Oh my goodness!
I may be the minority voice here but most teachers are not garbage. The system that support the district is garbage. The majority of former teachers I talk to state it is a toxic environment and will never return.
Time for the district to do some soul searching and clean up their mess and stop offering more money to less qualified individuals. Kids need teachers, not substitutes.
Why do you think homeschooling is in the rise and transfer to private schools?
The public school curriculum and the unions are garbage. Not gonna have the government tell me that I shouldn’t be involved in their education…
“Now’s you’re chance, community members who say teachers are garbage and any idiot off the street could do this job! ”
First, you spelled ‘your’ wrong.
Second, this report makes your point. Any idiot off the street CAN do this job, they’re actually advertising for people to come in off the street! Sign up if you have a bachelor’s degree, but if you don’t, that’s cool too, we’ll give you a waiver. Seems all they’re really looking for is an adult to sit in the room.
Look, the teachers just want to work from home like all their friends and family are doing. They’re ticked off that they have to go to work everyday like so many other people do. They’re the “heroes” of the pandemic, they’re the enlightened academic leaders of our youth…why should they have to do hard things?
It’s the trophy culture run amok, teachers believe their own hype. They’re not special, they’re not heroes, they’re just teachers.
Shut up and go to work. Your union represents all that is wrong with America today, and the union is made up of individuals like you.
@whatever 👍👍👍👍👍
@ whatever. Level of education is not the main determinant of a teacher’s success – not with class sizes of 30+ kids. More often it is the ability to manage a classroom and persist through bureaucratic hurdles and unreasonable complaints from parents.
Yes any idiot may be able to get into the classroom. But that classroom is often full of unruly kids, all of which know that any negative behaviors will have little to no consequence.
Schools are a microcosm of society and as such they contain society’s ills writ small. As such I’ve seen young kids on drugs, stabbings, rooms set on fire and many a teacher brought to the verge of tears, breakdown or unrestrained yelling. And all for $170 a day…any takers?
@HSActivate
Doesn’t take much skill to fix…..just show up and teach what you’re supposed to teach. You, personally, may want to bone up on the proper use of exclamation points.
… and commas. @HSActivate is obviously not an English teacher, but most likely teaches CRT or something equally useless.
That is about the level of teachers in public schools these days. They don’t even know the proper “your.”
I am not a teacher-hater I am a union member hater. So, any teacher that belongs to one? Yep, I HATE you. You are garbage and only interested in furthering the abuse of our kids.
Hear tell that the schoolboard is considering increasing the pay for substitutes for this time of crisis (???) and a $1000 bonus if they work 20 days.
The original pay listed is pretty low. $180 a day?
What ever happened to the DVC “bike lock” professor ?
Remember the rampage he went on and the assault on Trump supporters
In retrospect it’s now obvious he was an antifa thug right here in PH
This is what MDUSD and DVC stand for today?
No credential needed? I’ll bet there’ll be some real humdingers in that group.
This is the first press release to come out of MDUSD that doesn’t mention diversity or equity. They’ll quietly slip in CRT later.
We have had many amazing special education teachers and assistants in the two decades our son’s were at MDUSD. It takes a willing teacher, great staff and a parent partnership to have a good learning experience for our students. See, kids with special needs can’t tell parents the teacher is abusive, ignorant or unprepared, so there must be trust and communication.
I wouldn’t want to be a teacher of any grade or subject, anywhere, during these crazy times, but if I had to, I’d show up, teach the subject as best as I could, tell the students to expand their minds by reading more on the topic, and pray.
Private schools can’t help most special needs students, and home schooling would’ve been my one-way ticket to a 5150, so partnering and holding all parties accountable was our only “choice”. If you haven’t the extra income, stay involved with your student’s education and intervene early.
WhoDat Gurl Out
I agree with you, special ed teachers and aides are a completely different animal than the woke propagandists in the mainstream classes.
Special ed teachers and aides are a treasure, they prove day in and day out that they are truly there to serve the children. They show through their action that they love and honor the kids.
On the other hand, the mainstream teachers only use meaningless words to claim that they are serving the students, THEIR actions belie the fact that they do not actually feel that way at all. They want to teach their propaganda without anyone watching, stay away from the dirty children and get paid more and more to do so.
These are not heroes, but a case could be made that the Special Ed teachers and aides are the real heroes.
@Whatever,
You are right. Thank you for your supportive comments and also keeping it real re: mainstream teachers. Unfortunately, I know many teachers who see their job as a pedestal and a liberal agenda recruitment program. I just hope that those parents who come after us start showing up for their student’s values, and prioritize learning proper history, science and math skills, otherwise there will be no STEM leaders tomorrow.
Substitute teachers don’t teach. In high schools, They just take roll and then babysit. Watch videos. Free reading or work on homework. The teachers fail to leave emergency lesson plans and the kids love to try and get over on the poor subs. Beware!
None of this will change until the State reforms how schools are funded. Richmond schools receive just a fraction of what SRVUSD schools receive per child per diem. This is segregation not by race but by economic status as if Brown v Board of Education never happened.
Additionally, policy and legislation enable Bad Actors in the Charter School industry. Nonprofit charter schools receive state money and then turn it over to a private for-profit company that is owned by the same people to reap profits by providing minimal services to students. Also, they get all of the money from the state upfront, so every semester they ship the kids who are failing in the Charter back to the legacy schools so they can a) polish their KPI by jettisoning the poor performers, while b) the legacy schools don’t get any of the per diem money to help the learning needs of those students. I’m all for school choice but these Betsy DeVos oligarchs and predators are bad news.
