Online Substitute Training

Overview

CESA 2 offers Wisconsin DPI-approved online and in-person training for those who want to obtain a Short-Term Substitute License.  A Short-Term Substitute License allows individuals to be substitute teachers in Wisconsin’s public schools.  

Individuals must have an Associates Degree or higher to apply to become a substitute teacher. Previously, applicants were required to have a Bachelor's Degree.  The Wisconsin DPI recently changed the requirements to address the substitute shortage in the state.

What you will learn.

Through this class, participants will gain a deeper understanding of effective teaching principles to prepare for future substitute teaching assignments. Training topics 
include:

• The culture of schools and the teaching profession.
  Health and safety issues, including handling of medical emergencies.
• Age-appropriate teaching strategies.
• Discipline, conflict resolution, and classroom management techniques.
• Techniques for starting a class.
• Working with lesson plans.
• Working with children with disabilities, including confidentiality issues.

Online and In-Person Training Available!

The CESA 2 trainings are available to anyone across the state interested in becoming a substitute teacher.
