To work as a substitute teacher in the Roosevelt School District the applicant must hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree, with or without a teaching certificate. Individuals who are qualified to substitute teach, must acquire a Substitute Teaching Certificate from the Arizona Department of Education. Additionally, all substitute teachers must be fingerprinted and must acquire a fingerprint clearance card. The Arizona teaching certificate allows you to substitute teach an unlimited number of days each year. A substitute certificate limits you to 120 substitute days per year in the same school. We advise you to keep a personal record of the number of days you teach each year and provided you a personal work record at the end of this Handbook. Reference checks and background investigations are conducted on each applicant. Providing your qualifications meet the standards and the teaching needs of the district, your name will be placed on the active substitute list. Employment of any individual as a substitute is solely at the discretion of the District. Placement of an individual on the substitute list does not assure employment. Once called as a substitute for a day or a partial day, the individual has no expectation of continued employment. The individual has no right to notice of hearing in connection with the District’s decision not to call or to no longer call the individual as a substitute. For information on requirements for nursing certification, please contact the Arizona State Board of Nursing.

NNOOTTEE:: Certificated positions in Roosevelt require that you hold a current Arizona Certificate. We are advised that Arizona Certification and fingerprint clearance may take up to several weeks to obtain. For information, visit the State’s web site at www.ade.az.gov/certification or call the Arizona State Board of Education, Certification Unit, at (602) 542-4367.

Veteran substitute teachers suggest that you familiarize yourself with the district before taking your first assignment. Included in this Handbook is a district map showing the locations of all the schools in our District. A drive through the area will save a lot of early morning confusion on the day that you report to work. You should be on duty at the designated school at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the first class. Schools start between 7:00 and 8:30 am, but you will be informed of the specific time when called. The school starting and ending times are listed in this Handbook. When arriving at the school, you must report to the main office. This is where you will receive the necessary information concerning lesson plans, general procedures, hall duties, lunchroom duties, students’ restroom privileges, location of restrooms and staff lounge and procedures to be followed in case of emergency. This is where you will obtain the necessary keys, information concerning the method of reporting absences, a schedule of classes and a map of the campus. In addition, you will be notified about any departures from the usual daily schedule. You will be introduced to the neighboring teacher who can help you during the day. If you have questions, the principal and school secretary will be pleased to help you. They are listed in this directory.  NNooww YYoouu’’rree iinn CCllaassss

Most of the information you need to carry on the regular classroom program is usually kept in one place by the regular teacher. The school secretary or the neighboring teacher will be informed where these materials are kept.

YYoouurr DDaayy iinn aa RRSSDD SScchhooooll ((ccoonnttiinnuueedd))  In most classes there will be a lesson plan for the day to which you will be expected to adhere. However, it is not always possible for adequate plans to have been made by the regular teacher ahead of time. In these instances, you will need to consult with other teachers in the grade level or department and be resourceful in planning the day’s activities that are free of political or religious slant. The development of your own teaching “survival kit” will serve you well during your career as a substitute. This kit should include activities in which you can involve the students when your day doesn’t go according to plan. When the video does not work, the library is too full for your students, or you need a few minutes just to get your bearings, your “survival kit” will be a welcome tool. Each substitute should assume the same responsibilities and duties as the regular teacher. If the teacher whom you are replacing is responsible for extra duties, consult the school secretary for direction. If the substitution is of long duration, you should attend departmental and/or full faculty meetings, unless excused by the principal. This is one of the ways you can keep informed about recent developments in school procedures. If you are substituting on a long term basis, you are not expected to participate in special district workshops or in-service days when children are not in school. However, you may arrange to attend such events by seeking permission from your principal. At lunchtime, you are invited to purchase your lunch in the school cafeteria, or bring food from home, and join the rest of the faculty in the staff dining room. CCllaassssrroooomm AAccttiivviittiieess

Classroom materials and supplies should be used with discretion. There are many instances in which the regular teacher has planned ahead for their use. All teaching materials, library materials, audio-visual aids, etc. should be properly cared for and left in an orderly fashion. You should complete all reports required concerning attendance, lunch, rental, etc. All money that is collected for any purpose should be turned over to the school secretary at the end of the day, along with an accurate report of who paid what…for what. No money is left in classrooms overnight in our schools.

If you suspect child abuse: DO NOT INVESTIGATE. Notify the building principal for assistance. Remember that you are mandated reporters. You do not have to establish the validity of the case. This is the sole responsibility of the authorities. DDiisscciipplliinnee

If you follow the three F’s—friendly, fair and firm—there should be little problem with discipline. If the students are kept busy with worthwhile material, discipline problems usually will not develop. If you know the subject being taught and present it in an appropriate manner, students will be more likely to be attentive. Naturally, there are exceptions and occasionally problems do arise. If a discipline problem occurs which you are unable to handle, consult the principal or the person in charge. AT NO TIME ARE YOU TO TOUCH A STUDENT IN ANY WAY OR ADMINISTER CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. RReelleeaassiinngg aa SSttuuddeenntt

If a person seeks information about a child, or permission to take the child from the room, refer that person directly to the principal. The principal will determine whether or not the child should be excused and will notify you of the decision. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A CHILD BE RELEASED WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE PRINCIPAL. EEmmeerrggeennccyy PPrroocceedduurreess

Emergencies can arise at any time and you should be prepared to handle them with a minimum of confusion. Because of increases in the general population of HIV and other communicable diseases, the district has instituted “Universal Precautions,” which are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. To safeguard students and staff, regard all body fluids as potentially infectious. Avoid direct contact if possible, wear gloves if necessary, wash hands thoroughly and report injuries to the nurse immediately. Students are taught not to touch blood or body fluids and to seek adults for assistance. For more information, contact the school nurse or the building principal.

As a RSD substitute, you will be assigned to the school where your services are most needed. In some instances, we may find it necessary to reassign a substitute. That is to say that an assignment maybe changed throughout the day, based on the program’s or school’s need. Should this become necessary when you are working for us, we’ll let you know. We hope you will not be assigned mistakenly where there is no vacancy. If you arrive at a school where there is no assignment, please call the Substitute Coordinator immediately. If you cannot be reassigned, you’ll receive a full day’s pay to make up for the inconvenience this causes you.  

CCeellll PPhhoonnee UUssee  

Substitutes should not be using cell phones during the time they are with students. If during the course of the day you need to use your phone, we advise it be done during a break away from students. The district is not responsible for cell phones and other electronic devices that may be lost stolen, or damaged.  

DDrreessss CCooddee  

Research has shown that student performance increases when staff members dress professionally. Like full-time staff members, substitutes are expected to serve as role models for students, and dress professionally in accordance with duty responsibilities. The following guidelines are for substitutes while on campus or at any school sponsored activity, on or off campus: Facial Jewelry While performing official school business, substitutes may wear earrings on their earlobes. Jewelry may not be worn on any other parts of the face, including tongue jewelry. Dress Regulations

• All clothing must be sized and fit appropriately. • Undergarments must not be visible and midriffs must remain covered. • Shoes or dress sandals must be worn at all times. • FLIP-FLOPS, BEACH SHOES AND SLIPPERS ARE INAPPROPRIATE

FOOTWEAR AND MAY NOT BE WORN. In addition, pajama or pajama like clothing is inappropriate work attire. Leggings worn as pants are also inappropriate in the workplace at Roosevelt School District.

Federal law prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or age. It is the policy of the district to provide equal opportunities in employment regardless of national origin, race, religion, age, sex, handicap/disability or color. Federal law also protects students from discrimination in any educational program or activity on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex or handicap. An employee who witnesses discriminatory behavior toward a student or who receives a complaint of discrimination from a student must report the discriminatory behavior or complaint in accordance with Governing Board Policy. The Executive Director of Human Resources is the district's compliance officer with respect to Title IX (gender-based discrimination), Title VI (race, color, ethnicity and national origin-based discrimination), Title VII (race, color, religion, sex and national origin-based discrimination in the workplace), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (handicap-based discrimination) and the Americans With Disabilities Act (disability-based discrimination) regarding substitutes. If an employee feels that he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of gender, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, handicap or disability, or if an employee has questions that can't be answered at his or her school or department, the employee should contact Human Resources at 6000 South 7th Street, (602) 243-4800.  IInnjjuurriieess oonn tthhee JJoobb  

Substitutes are insured under Workers’ Compensation benefits. Any injury sustained on school property while in the normal course of duties as a substitute teacher should be reported immediately to the school nurse. This is done in order to establish a record of the injury and where to receive medical treatment. If it becomes necessary for the substitute to have medical treatment, an injury report must be completed by the nurse.  IInnssuurraannccee   

The district provides liability insurance coverage for all employees. However, many substitute teachers prefer to supplement this protection with their own private insurance coverage for liability.

Changes in name, address, phone number, and emergency contact should be reported immediately to the Substitute Coordinator so that district records are current. It is required that you show an updated Social Security card before a name change can be made. This is to ensure that your contributions to Social Security will be properly credited to your record with the Social Security Administration. The Request for Personnel Action form is available to download from the Human Resources website.  

PPaayycchheecckkss  

The Payroll Department issues paychecks in compliance with the provisions of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Substitutes are paid two weeks behind. The pay period begins on Saturdays and ends on Fridays. Paychecks are distributed every two weeks. Those that do not have direct deposit will receive a live check in the mail. Keeping accurate records yourself, of where and when you work, will help you keep track of the number of days you will be paid (please find a Personal Work Record in this Handbook). Arizona State Retirement As an Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) employer, RSD is required by law to track eligibility for membership in the ASRS. Once an employee meets the eligibility threshold, both the employee and the employer are required to make contributions to the ASRS. The amount of the contribution is determined each fiscal year. The employee and employer contribution will occur on each paycheck. Eligibility is based upon the number hours worked and the number of weeks worked in a fiscal year. Any employee who works 20 hours a week for 20 weeks during a fiscal year or has the expectation of working such time is required to make contributions and begin active membership in the ASRS. Federal, State & Social Security Taxes Each substitute completes a Withholding Exemptions Certificate, or W-4 form, when stating work for the district. This determines the amount of federal taxes to be deducted from gross pay. The state A-4 Withholding Election form must also be completed when starting to work for the district. This determines the amount of state tax that will be deducted. Contact the Payroll Department when any changes occur in either withholding. Social Security is a standard deduction for all RSD substitutes.

CCOONNFFIIDDEENNTTIIAALLIITTYY  

All school records and reports should be handled with discretion. Many records are of a confidential nature. They are maintained in order to provide information on child growth and development for the professional staff. It is essential that, as a substitute teacher, you do not divulge any confidential information which has been received from contact with principal(s), students, parents and other teachers/staff in the profession.  

RREESSPPOONNSSIIBBIILLIITTIIEESS  

Certificated substitutes are responsible for knowing the principles of child development, accepted teaching techniques, the educational program and specific policies and regulations of the Roosevelt Elementary School District. The two latter responsibilities can be fulfilled by familiarizing yourself with the information in this handbook and any other materials which are given to you by Human Resources and the individual schools.  

UUNNDDEERRSSTTAANNDDIINNGG  

As a substitute traveling from school to school, you will observe many school-related situations and styles of teaching and management. We hope you will keep in mind that teachers do not all teach and manage students in the same way. Understanding, not criticism, will go far to make your teaching assignment more pleasant for you and the others around you. Instead of expressing comparisons among classrooms, teachers and schools, it is expected that you carry on the program of the regular teacher, to follow the lesson plans and to fit in with the existing schedule.  

QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS  

If you have a question on any aspect of your work with Roosevelt Public School District, please call the Substitute Coordinator or the Human Resources Department.

rising generation.  –Marcus Tullius Cicero

TThe important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should

be given the wish to learn.  –John Lubbock WWhat office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honorable

than teaching?  –Harriet Martineau BBy learning you will teach; by teaching you will understand. –Latin Proverb 

EEducation is the mother of leadership.  –Wendell L. Willkie

IIt is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.  –Albert Einstein

TThe true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to part his own opinions,

but to kindle minds.  –F.W. Robertson 

II am not a teacher but an awakener.  –Robert Frost 

NNine-tenths of education is encouragement.  –Anatole France 

II hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.  –Chinese Proverb II am indebted to my father for living, but to my

teachers for living well.  –Alexander of Macedon
