Join the SFUSD substitute pool
Becoming a substitute is an easy way to experience the joys of teaching while also contributing to our school communities. Substitute teaching can be remarkably rewarding and worthwhile especially for those who have recently retired, are experiencing transitions, or are considering a career in teaching. Substitutes have control over the assignments they pick up, the range and variety of their teaching assignments, and can increase the chances of landing a full-time teaching career in SFUSD.
