Application Process for Substitute Teaching Positions

The Fond du Lac School District is always accepting applications for Substitute Teachers. On average, the district has 25–30 absences per day for various reasons related to illness, training and other approved leaves.  

Substitute Teachers – In these positions, we are able to utilize individuals who have regular teaching licenses, substitute teacher licenses and substitute permit licenses. You will be in the classroom as a lead teacher. Substitute Position Descriptions

Regular teaching license and substitute teaching license – This is the type of license you will hold if you completed all the necessary requirements in the field of education for a teaching position in the early childhood through Grade 12 subject areas. This type of license is issued by the Wisconsin Department of Instruction and lists areas of certification and a WI code.    

Substitute permit license – This is the type of license you are able to apply for if you have an Associate or Bachelor’s degree in a field other than education. You will apply to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to obtain this licensure by sending your transcripts and your Substitute Teacher Training Certificate or the PI-1633 document. Refer to Are You Interested in Becoming a Substitute? for additional licensure instructions. The additional form you may need is below: Form PI-1633
