Staff Professional Development

The purpose of the Substitute Teacher Training Program is to ensure high quality instruction for SMBSD students every single day. Substitute teachers are incredibly important to the success of our students. In order to be prepared for any teaching environment, training modules have been developed to support both short term and long term substitute teachers. Daily substitutes will receive continued support through their participation in our New Teacher Onboarding program. Our goal is to prepare SMBSD substitute teachers to provide uninterrupted high quality instruction for all students everyday.
