EducationCompensation Management4HighSubstitute Teacher$ implied
A long-term substitute teacher is doing full teaching duties including grading, classroom management, and administrative tasks for minimal pay without a clear path to proper certification or compensation.
There is no system to equitably compensate long-term substitutes or to efficiently convert them to certified teachers when they take on full teaching responsibilities, leading to frustration and burnout.
