The Grafton Public Schools are always seeking to work with qualified substitute teachers.  In Grafton, substitute teaching candidates must be at least 18 years of age and hold a minimum of a high school diploma or GED.  Schools call-in substitutes whenever full-time employees get sick, travel, or take personal time.  

Every substitute teaching job is different.  Sometimes you'll simply look after a class while students complete an assignment that their regular teacher left for them.  On other days you will follow a detailed lesson plan.  As a Paraprofessional substitute, you might work with a single student or a small group of students to help them accomplish their assignments for the day.  The only consistent thing about substitute teaching is that every day is different.

To become a substitute in Grafton, please email Frank Rothwell to schedule an appointment for an interview and include your responses to the written questions below.  After the interview, you will complete payroll paperwork, a CORI background check, fingerprinting, and attend a Substitute Orientation.
