Substitute Teacher Application Process

The substitute teacher application process must be completed in the following order:

1. Substitute Teacher Application and REQUIRED Supporting Documents

• Complete an online application at www.evscschools.com

• Upload copies of official transcripts verifying at least 30 hours of college coursework

• Submit two EVSC reference forms.  Must utilize professional references - family members and friends will not be accepted.

• Upload a copy of your valid Indiana teaching license if applicable.  If you do not hold a valid Indiana teaching license, you will be provided instructions to submit for an Indiana substitute teacher permit upon completion of the first three bullets.  

2. National Background Check

• After completing all the steps in Step 1, the applicant will be contacted by email and provided instructions on requesting the required online background check from our provider. The applicant is responsible for the fee, payable online with a personal credit or debit card.

3. Indiana Teaching License or Indiana Substitute Permit

• A valid Indiana teaching license or Indiana substitute permit is required to work as a substitute teacher in Indiana.

• If the applicant does not hold an active Indiana teaching license, they may apply to the Indiana Department of Educator for a substitute teacher permit. The national background check must be completed and approved prior to applying for the substitute permit.

• Instructions for applying for the permit will be emailed to the applicant after approval of the national background check.

• The cost to the applicant for a three year substitute permit is $16.32 and payable online with a personal credit card.

4. Orientation

• After all the above steps have been completed, an onboarding orientation will occur. Orientation sessions are held virtually.

New substitute teachers are required to complete all required employment forms before working in our schools.
