Abstract
Poor pay and little
recognition, that is the lot of high school substitute teachers in Silicon
Valley. Having walked in their shoes for more than a year, I can attest to
their plight. They deserve better. Districts employ two types of substitutes:
on-call for daily assignments and temporary teachers for a specific duration.
My adventure as an on-call substitute began four years ago. I returned to
education following a thirty-year hiatus as a Silicon Valley Real Estate
Broker. Prior to my real estate experience, I held a variety of different
positions in education: High School English and History Teacher, Supervisor of
University Intern Teachers, Vice Principal, Principal, Director of Human
Resources, Assistant Superintendent, Superintendent, and Assistant Professor of
Educational Leadership.
