How to become a substitute teacher

The Substitute Office is currently accepting applications to fill substitute positions.

Please follow the steps  below for consideration:

  • Complete an online application at www.pasadenaisd.org and create an account.
  • Choose Non-Certified Teacher in the Category menu.
  • Apply to the Substitute Teacher posting.
  • Complete Criminal History information.
  • All applicants must demonstrate oral proficiency in English.

Once you have applied gather the following information:

  • Official Transcripts bearing the college seal or the registrar’s signature, demonstrating no less than 60 semester hours (official U.S. equivalent evaluation is required, if transcript is from a non-U.S. college) and a 2.0 GPA.
  • Documents to show eligibility to work in the United States. Most commonly, applicants will provide a driver’s license and a Social Security Card, though other documents are acceptable. If you have questions about documents, please contact Debbie Garza at djgarza@pasadenisd.org or Donna Youngblood at dyoungblood@pasadenaisd.org
  • A Social Security card is required for payroll purposes, even if it is not presented to satisfy the right to work documentation. Note: for tax purposes, every employee must be hired under the name indicated on the Social Security card.
  • A voided check or a letter from your bank with your account information to set up direct deposit, if you prefer.

Once your application is reviewed by the Substitute Office you will receive an email inviting you to register for the next Substitute Orientation.

Offers of employment are extended on an approved Criminal History, attendance of the Substitute Orientation and completed paperwork.
