NAME CHANGE:
-If I need to change my name, what is the documentation process that I need to follow?
You will need to request a social security card with your new name on it from the Social Security Administration. Upon receipt of your social security card, contact Human Resource Services to schedule a time to complete the name change process. Your new name will be changed in most but not necessarily all programs used by WCS. Your email address will change, and your name will be changed in HRMS, the state licensure database and in payroll. Your name will also be changed in the NCEES (Educator Evaluation System), but your UID and password will remain the same. If you also use other programs and logins, your name and/or login may not necessarily be updated. The NC Education site, for example, is an outside resource with a personal login, so you would need to make those changes yourself.
SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS
-What are the requirements of a substitute teacher?
Substitute teachers perform the duties of a teacher to provide continuity in the classroom in a teacher's absence. A new substitute teacher applying for employment with Wilson County Schools must submit the following documents: completed NCDPI online application; three Employment Reference Forms, or narrative letters dated within 1 year; official degree-dated transcript from high school or college; and a Recommendation Form completed by a current Wilson County Schools principal. Currently employed candidates of Wilson County Schools must complete the following: updated NCDPI application and a Recommendation Form completed by a current Wilson County Schools principal. Please return all documents to Human Resource Services. Upon approval from the Board of Education, you will then be notified when you may begin substituting.
-What is the pay rate for a substitute teacher?
Certified Substitute Teachers earn $103 per day. All certified substitute teachers must provide a copy of their current North Carolina license. Non-Certified Substitute Teachers earn $80 per day.
-What kind of training do I need to remain a substitute teacher?
To remain active as a substitute teacher with Wilson County Schools, all non-certified substitute teachers are required to complete a Substitute Teacher Certification course. Upon successful completion of a course, please remit your original certificate to the Office of Human Resource Services so that a copy may be placed in your personnel file. You are only required to take this course once during your substitute teacher employment. If you have previously taken and successfully passed this course, please furnish a copy of your certificate to ensure your continued substitute teacher employment. If not completed within one year of registration as a substitute teacher, you will be removed from the substitute calling system and ineligible to substitute until you have provided proof that you have completed the course.
-What kind of training do I need to become a substitute teacher?
The Effective Teacher training course is mandatory for all substitute teachers. This virtual training is offered by the App-Garden University. Once you complete this training course, you will be given a certificate of completion which may be printed and kept for your records. Central Office will receive a report of your completion, and this will also be a record of your intent to sub this year. The course available includes the Substitute Orientation Course and the Effective Substitute Training Course. The cost for the course is $49. Please click here. Once the purchase has been made, you will receive an email with a link to the training.
-Are there safety procedures I need to know as a substitute teacher?
Safety is a priority, and Wilson County Schools requires substitutes to know safety procedures. Substitutes are required to watch this Substitute Safety Training Video and answer a brief questionnaire.
