ECE Sub Information

Thank you for working with us in ECE. The job of a substitute is VERY important!

We appreciate your time and flexibility as you get to know our program.

Performance Expectations

As a sub in ECE, you are responsible for young lives.

Depending on your role and the staff in the room, that might mean you are responsible for everything—or for very little.

Adapting to the Classroom

The first expectation is that you will assess the situation in the classroom and adapt immediately.

The best way to do that is to check in with classroom staff and understand what they expect from you.

Supporting vs. Leading

When Supporting Staff

Even if you are a Teacher or CDPT sub, the CDA in the room may take over for the absent teacher.

This may happen due to special activities, complex schedules, or classroom-specific routines.

In this case, support the classroom staff as needed, but do not expect to lead.

When Leading the Classroom

In some cases, you may be expected to take on a lead role, such as running circle time, music and movement, or activities.

In this situation, you should take on the role of Teacher with support from other staff.

Expectations by Role

CDA or NISA Substitutes

Assist the teacher as needed
Follow direction from Teachers or CDPT staff
Ask for clarification if expectations are unclear

Stepping Into a Teaching Role

In some cases, a CDA may act as a teacher due to qualifications and experience.

In these situations, the same expectations as a Teacher or CDPT apply.

Professional Expectations

As a substitute, you are an employee of San Juan Unified School District and represent the district in all interactions.

Employees are expected to:

Maintain high ethical standards
Exhibit professional behavior
Follow district policies and regulations
Comply with state and federal laws
Use good judgment when interacting with students, staff, and the community

Employee conduct should support a positive school climate and align with district goals.

Board Policy Compliance

All staff interactions are governed by School Board Policy.

Substitutes who do not follow board policy may not be asked to return.

Respond promptly to emails, texts, and phone calls
