Please note: If TSPC suggests the Restricted Substitute License (they will if you hold a Bachelor’s degree and have not completed a teacher prep program), please complete the Substitute Teacher employment application on Recruit & Hire (link above) and provide a cover letter that details your experience working with kids and why you want to work as a substitute teacher. If approved, HDESD will sponsor the applicant for the Restricted Substitute License and you will receive additional information and instructions to proceed with the license application.
