Substitute Authorization Class

Description

Iowa Western offers the Board of Educational Examiner's approved Substitute Authorization course, which allows an individual to substitute in a K-12 institution for no more than five consecutive days in one job assignment. An individual who holds a paraeducator certificate without a Associate's Degree and completes the substitute authorization program is authorized to substitute only in the special education classroom in which the individual paraeducator is employed. All students must complete two classroom observations after the two-day course is complete. Students are responsible for arranging the observations with the school of their choice.
