    Thank you for your interest in becoming a Substitute Teacher with Palm Springs Unified School District!

    What are the requirements needed to become a Substitute Teacher?

    Before employment, all applicants must:

      • Pass a background check
      • Demonstrate good health (TB and physical clearance within 60 days of hire)
      • Be authorized to work in the United States

    In addition, the following qualifications are required:

      • A bachelor's degree or higher from a reginal accredited university
      • A valid California teaching credential or a 30-Day Substitute Teacher Permit

    Do I need a teaching credential to substitute teach?

    Yes, to substitute in California, you need either a valid teaching credential or a 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit. 

    If you don’t currently hold either, you can still qualify for the 30-Day Permit based on your degree. PSUSD will assist you in obtaining this permit through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

    As part of the application process, you will be required to submit official transcripts showing your completed bachelor's degree to apply for the permit.
