SCOE Hosts 4th Annual Sub Recruitment Day on August 13

For the fourth year in a row, the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) is hosting a Substitute Recruitment Day in an effort to recruit potential candidates interested in employment opportunities in the education field.

The day-long recruitment event will be held on Thursday, August 13, 2009 at the David P. Meaney Education Center, located at 10474 Mather Boulevard, in Mather [driving directions], from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. beginning with a ninety-minute information session at 9:00 a.m.

Applicants for both teacher and para-educator positions are encouraged to learn more about this rewarding experience that provides a valuable service to a diverse population of students, as well as a flexible schedule. For additional information about being a SCOE susbstitute, visit the Personnel Department's substitute overview and orientation page.

Teachers must have a valid California teaching credential,
30-day California Substitute Teaching Permit, or possess a B.A. degree and have passed the CBEST (California Basic Education Skills Test).

Para-educators must have a high school diploma. A para-educator is a school employee who works under the supervision of a certificated or licensed staff member to support and assist in providing instructional and other direct services to children, youth, and families. Para-educators play an important role in providing educational opportunities to students in our local schools. SCOE's highest need for para-educators is within its Severely Handicapped Programs.

During SCOE's Substitute Recruitment Day, prospective substitute teacher and para-educator applicants will be able to take advantage of on-site interviews and testing, as well as meet with recruiters from various SCOE programs:

• Juvenile Court Schools
• Community Schools
• Special Education for Students with Emotional Disabilities
• Special Education for Students with Severe Handicaps

Candidates are encouraged to submit applications online prior to the event by creating an account and applying for the "Substitute Teacher" and/or "Substitute Para-Educator" positions. Applications may also be submitted at the event.
