Internship Substitute Certificate
Acquiring the internship substitute certificate
- You will need approval via email from a few people:
- Your university supervisor
- Your cooperating teacher
- Your principal
- Second, you will need to complete the LWSD online application. Application questions can be directed to Neelim Randhawa.
- Finally, before you will be allowed to sub for your cooperating teacher, you must view an essential employee expectations video available through the district portal. Once you have viewed it, your principal will answer any questions you may have, and then he or she will email Sam Yuhan confirmation that you have seen it. Your Principal will also provide you two booklets: Code of Professional Conduct and Expectations for Employee Conduct.
- Once all of this is complete, you will work with Tina Ayer to complete the required new substitute paperwork and schedule your on-boarding appointment.
