MSOE - Interns as Substitute Teachers

Publication: Moore School of Education Handbook

Policy Statement

It is never the preference for an intern to serve as a substitute teacher. However, in an emergency at a Christian school, and only for a short period of time, interns may serve as a substitute teacher providing the following requirements are met:

• The intern may substitute as a teacher only in his/her assigned classroom.
• The intern must be far enough along in the program that he/she is teaching most, if not all, subjects.
• A paid substitute teacher must also be present in the classroom all day.
• All of the following must approve: the head of school, the cooperating teacher, the supervising professor, and the Dean of the Moore School of Education.
• Interns are not to be paid for their work as a substitute teacher.
