What a success! Twenty graduates were recognized during the first cohort 1 Substitute Success Academy program last week at the Essen Centre. “It was a lifesaver; I learned so much,” one graduate remarked. Presented by the EBR Schools Office of Human Resources, the five-day, intensive training helped prepare substitutes for success in the classroom.
Participants received hands-on training in classroom management, instructional strategies and nonviolent crisis intervention, along with guidance from district specialists and experienced educators.
The academy ensures that substitutes enter classrooms ready to teach, support students, and uphold EBR’s standard of excellence.
👏 Congratulations to the inaugural cohort of Substitute Academy graduates!
