The nation is experiencing a teacher shortage. It’s changing the way schools think about substitutes.
But as demand outpaces supply, school districts across the country, including in San Francisco, are grappling with the fallout.
The pandemic further increased teacher resignations and retirements at SFUSD, thereby increasing a need for substitute teachers — but COVID afflicted substitute teacher retainment too, Hrizi said. According to a recent SFUSD job posting seeking substitute or guest teachers, candidates must be available to work at “hard to staff” schools — which are often those that serve high-needs students.
Though it’s long been possible to become a substitute teacher through a state permitting process, to become a substitute teacher at SFUSD today, candidates need only a Bachelor’s degree and must be available to work one day a week, or a minimum of 36 days for the school year. Previously, substitute teacher candidates needed to pass an exam or have completed higher education coursework that includes reading, writing and mathematics proficiency: a course in literature, English, and geometry would satisfy the requirement.
Money is the answer for everythingWhile many studies have spelled out why the nation is experiencing the worst teacher shortage in decades, the reasons for substitute shortages are not as well-examined.
