This training is for individuals who possess an Associate’s degree or higher from an accredited institution and are either new to substitute teaching or looking to enhance their skills in this field.

Our program offers hands-on training that simulates real classroom experiences. A certified instructor will demonstrate various teaching strategies that are effective and practical for substitute teachers. You will also learn foundational teaching principles to better prepare for future assignments in substitute teaching.

For those applying for the Three-Year Short-Term Substitute Teacher License, this training is a requirement by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). If you already hold or are eligible for an educator license, you may want to check if you qualify for the Five-Year Long-Term Substitute Teacher License, which does not require this training.

Please note: Participation in CESA 6 training is part of the process for obtaining a Substitute Teacher License and working in school districts. We also recommend visiting specific school district websites to understand their hiring processes and requirements for substitute teachers.

Your sub-training confirmation email will be sent from [email protected]. If you don't immediately receive your email, please search "[email protected]" and check your Spam.

WI Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has separate fees associated with the license application.

There is great diversity among learners in every school.  The educational community has a responsibility to provide rigorous learning opportunities for each learner. Teaching the gifted needs of children is both exciting and challenging. Teachers must have the skills to differentiate or plan their instruction to provide the opportunity for every student to learn every day. This collaborative is for educators to work together around equitable identification tools, program planning, classroom strategies, and resources that can support teachers and parents in their quest to meet the gifted/talented needs of students. 

“An environment that is safe and welcoming. The agenda was well planned out. There was a mix between social networking and focused content.” 

OBJECTIVES:

• Review and update the district gifted/talented plan using the NAGC Gifted Programming Standards as a guide 

• Explore and evaluate processes for identifying the unique gifts and talents of students that are equitable for the diverse student population

• Collaboratively network and learn together
