Substitute Teachers

We are very excited to offer new training for all of our Substitute Teachers in Camden County.  This will be mandatory training in order to be an approved sub for the 2020-21 school year.

The VIRTUAL training is offered by the App-Garden University. There are many benefits to you as a sub such as the ability to train anytime and anywhere you have access to internet. It is so important that we as a district keep you current on the board policies and procedures as well as giving you great tips and ideas for being a successful substitute teacher. This training is required of all subs in order for our district to meet compliance requirements.

Camden County Schools Substitute Teacher Orientation Training is intended for RETURNING substitute teachers…. who hold a teaching certificate or who are ETT (Effective Teacher Training) certified. This course is $14.00.
