Fall 2022 Substitute Teacher Workshops

The workbook is included in your workshop!

This fun program prepares people interested in serving as substitute teachers or ed techs. There will be plenty of “hands-on learning” that will include important classroom management techniques and teaching strategies. We’ll also cover some legal aspects and help you develop your own “sub pack” of resources and an action plan to get you started on the right foot! If you’ve been subbing, this is a great opportunity for a “refresher” and new ideas. Attendees will earn a certificate recognized by many local districts. One attendee comments, “…very engaging with a lot of real-life scenarios. I came away with new information even after subbing for a year.”

This fall, three Adult Education Programs are offering the workshop.

  • Spruce Mountain Adult Ed in Livermore Falls is offering the one-day workshop on September 13, 2022.
  • MSAD 53 Adult Ed in Pittsfield offers part one on Tuesday night, September 20, 2022. Part two is scheduled for Thursday night, September 22, 2023. To be eligible for a certificate of completion, you must attend both nights.*
  • RSU 19 Adult Ed in Newport offers part one on Monday night, October 17, 2022. Part two is scheduled for Wednesday night, October 20, 2022. To be eligible for a certificate of completion, you must attend both nights*.

*Note that a third evening is included offering the required Suicide Awareness and Prevention Training.

Just in time for Safer Internet Day (February 8), NetSmartz is proud to announce the release of Cloud Quest- an interactive online safety adventure! Built as an e-learning module, this activity guides kids through each episode of season 1 of Into the Cloud with Clicky by their side acting as trusted adult and teacher to highlight important learning. Each video is accompanied by “Think About It” questions and fun activities like word searches, build-a-letter, picture puzzles, and more.

Clicky and the cast of season 1 of Into the Cloud lead students through:

  • What to do when dealing with cyberbullies
  • How to find trusted adults and helpers
  • How to protect online privacy
  • How to spot trustworthy information
  • What to do if you find something online that makes you sad, scared or confused, and
