Substitute Teacher Training

Substitute teachers with no background in education, who have not student taught, or those who have been out of a classroom for more than five (5) years, are required to complete a substitute training course. The Sub Skills Course is an online platform that allows the substitute teacher to complete the course at his/her own pace. 

Substitutes must complete an assessment at the end and are required to send it to our office as proof of completion. Participants in the online class will have year-long access to the online training course and material that can be used in the classroom. Please use the ESC of Medina County as your school district when registering for the Sub Skills Course. The cost for the online course is $39.95 paid directly to STEDI.
