Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß

On Friday, November 19, 2021, Bradford Elementary School, the University Magnet School in the Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Public Schools, hosted an open house for Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß students who are interested in becoming substitute teachers. Speakers included Bradford principal Frances Aboushi, district Human Resources Director Damen Cooper, and Superintendent Dr. Jonathan Ponds, all of whom spoke about their passion for education and the benefits of gaining substitute teaching experience in the Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß schools.

Many of the attendees are students in Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß’s new SubIN program, which recruits and supports those interested in becoming substitute teachers. “Events like these are a win-win for Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß students and for our partner districts: they provide real-world opportunities for students to explore career options while providing the district with potential new substitute teachers at a time when there is a great need for additional staff in our schools,” said Caroline Murray, co-coordinator of the SubIN program.
