The Mt. Diablo Unified School District is hiring substitute teachers at an increased pay rate of $230 per day or $250 per day for retirees or under special circumstances, effective January 21.
Apply at https://rebrand.ly/MDUSDSubs.
The above substitute rates will be in effect until June 30, 2022.
Yes…yes…. and as long as you have no credentials, no experience, no ID and no references! EOE
Do not be concerned that our kids will be subjected to substitute teachers who are uneducated bozos. I worked as a substitute teacher in MDUSD for decades until COVID. While it is true that I did not have a teaching credential, I passed the C-best, had a 4-year undergrad degree, an MA, took some of the same instructional classes as teachers, and have attended university-level lifelong learning classes for 20 years. This is the info of requirements from the website: Requirements / Qualifications
Valid CA Single Subject/Secondary, Multiple Subject/Elementary, Special Education Credentials or Substitute Teaching Permit or PPS credential (with CBEST). Candidates with bachelor degree and who have met the Basic Skills requirement may apply through the employer for a Substitute Teaching Permit. For more information on meeting the basic skill requirement, please visit ctc.ca.gov.
What are the minimum qualifications? Do you need to take a self-defense course before being hired? How Woke must your politics be? And will this essentially be high-paid babysitting?
The MDUSD website is listed and will answer your question for those who know how to read (thanks to teachers and those who substitute for them in need).
Minimum qualifications? Breathing…
Increased rates for subs while teachers are out. What does that tell you?
It tells me that the district is trying to educate the kids despite the obstacles thrown at it by a global pandemic and that it is offering a good wage to entice educated people who might have otherwise looked for temporary work elsewhere.
Why does “Teaching “ have quotation marks? Hello, I am here to “Teach” your children. Sounds reputable
Welcome to public education and the adminstration thereof.
Minimal qualifications?
Breathing.
Able to read assigned propaganda to students.
The end.
That is one expensive babysitter. Where do I sign up?
Folks, it’s a baby-sitting job for a person with a current or emergency credential. That’s all they want, a legal person in the classroom to cover an absence. Any teaching would be a bonus. Tell me I’m wrong?
Missy – and I have to mention …. I have a BSEE, MBA and MSEE.
Fortunately, there are very few liberals in the engineering profession.
Good opportunity for CRT training…
Missy. What a joke. We know exactly what goes on in the classroom and it’s not much. Public schools and the teachers in the classroom are dumbing down our kids. That is a fact. California went from one of the top states for education to now, we are 37th or 38th. Nowadays I doubt students graduate from high school with a 5th grade education. If parents were not so lazy and truly cared about their kids, they would vote for vouchers and take control of their children’s education. The politicians, the public unions and teachers are failures.
Missy – I think that most of us KNOW what goes on in classrooms… “teaching” CRT and other useless subjects DEMANDED by the liberals and their unions – just read about Randi Weingarten. We’ve seen it since the 1980s – and it’s only gotten worse.
Maybe some of the teachers are good – but they’re overshadowed by the noisy failures that pretend to “educate” (errr, indoctrinate) the kids today.
Our kids turned out well – but it wasn’t because of the teachers. There were more than a few times we had to call their bluff and educate them. Same problem with most of the universities. You fail classes if you don’t adhere to the teachers’ opinions.
As they say- if you know the teachers’ political views, it’s time to fire them.
Well… We certainly know what isn’t going on…
One of my Flies on the Wall at a MDUSD High School; and it isn’t a Title I School (latter part irrelevant, but a hint), says too many of the College Prep Class type Seniors are complaining that the teachers aren’t teaching, but just filling time. They are bored and concerned.
And so should we be…
.
That’s good pay to babysit.
.
And they are complaining about salaries.Add the benefits to that nothing to complain about.
Why do I need an advanced degree and a 180 commitment if they are going to pay subs the same as teachers? They even have steps to skip the standardized test that is in place to make sure you remember college.
I noticed my post was not allowed when I questioned the districts position on staff pay. Avoiding the issue doesn’t solve it MDUSD
@SB – Newsflash: A teaching credential isn’t an “advanced degree.” It’s a barrier to entry to discourage capable competitors who’ve taught in other states or at the college level.
Pathetic. Figure out how to compensate regular staff on a yearly basis without undercutting Union requests and you won’t find yourself in the poor staffing position you and other districts find themselves in. If your doctor found a tumor and said “hey, let’s address it topically” would you be satisfied with the result?
What kind of mutants are willing to work all day for $250. Poverty wages yield poor results. Par for MDUSD.
No decent parent would choose to live in that cesspool school district.
I took early retirement from my almost four-decade career because my husband’s health prevented my job requirement to move out of state following 9-11. My husband died a few months later. My early retirement resulted in a reduced pension; therefore, I took my undergrad degree and MA to MDUSD for a p/t job as a substitute teacher. That’s what kind of “mutant” is willing to work in the MDUSD. I don’t think my kids or any of the other graduates of Northgate HS agree with you that their parents raised them in a “cesspool school district.”
I’d do it! ‘cept I’m kinda retired now….. but how hard could it be?
Basically baby sit the students and give them art projects or tell them to read chapters 4,5 & 6.
There, Their, They’re / Break vs Brake / etc.
“Knock it off Bobby or I’ll send you to the office!”
Writing project – “What’s your favorite childhood memory?”
Piece of cake!
@ConcordRez – Northgate is a joke. Lots of infamous criminals darkened the cheap glass doors of its Soviet-era, concrete campus.
Northgate students post RELATIVELY high test scores in spite — and not because — of the MDUSD.
There’s a critical mass of parents in that neighborhood who care enough to pick up the dysfunctional administration’s slack. The principal moonlights as an HOA elections official. Zero institutional pride out there!
To call it the best house in a bad neighborhood is charitable.
Hummm
the schools have had a sub shortage for a while…
is this really from covid, or…
aren’t the teachers preparing to strike????
You know there is a problem when the MDUSD pays more for their maintenance staff than they do teachers. Salaries are public record painters making over $200,000 wth. Maybe the teachers need a better union.
Interesting… As I was just finishing typing a different comment on this thread…
I heard on a tv news media’s teaser a local school district looking for subs… Don’t know which district yet… But they will get some airtime….
Reporter also teased “What makes a good substitute?” I don’t know from who’s prospective the reporter will be sharing this information…
Getting my popcorn ready….
