Celebrating American Education Week 2025

Substitute Educators play a vital role in the maintenance and continuity of daily education.

These professionals provide a critical link in the education of public schoolchildren by serving as a bridge to provide continued quality education to children in the temporary absence of regular classroom educators.

Substitute Educators Day seeks to:

  • Encourage increased respect for substitute education employees

  • Receive genuine, continual professional development in the art of substitute teaching

  • Provide a reminder for school staff on effective practices to prepare for, welcome, and support substitute educators
