The Guest Teacher Program is a service the CLIU offers to the community and our local school districts. Individuals who have obtained a bachelor's degree from an accredited college may apply to participate in the program. The program's purpose is to provide quality substitute training to individuals with limited or no teaching experience. The program is conducted in order to provide participating Districts and Career and Technical Institutes with trained substitute teachers. Each Guest Teacher exits the program with the basic understanding to be a substitute teacher on a day-to-day basis and an emergency permit issued by the PA Department of Education (PDE) which makes the Guest Teacher eligible to substitute teach in any participating District and Career and Technical Institutes. The opportunities are rewarding and gratifying.

** NOTE: Clearances should not be older than September 30, 2024.
Program Expectations:
Guest Teacher applications need to be submitted as directed by the deadline; no exceptions will be permitted. All applications, if submitted by the deadline, will be reviewed.
If selected for an interview, the Guest Teacher applicant must be available on March 31, 2025, April 3, 2025, May 7, 2025 or May 8, 2025. Interviews will only be conducted on these dates; however, if you are unable to attend one of these dates, please contact Heather Levitt, Human Resources Specialist, at levitth@cliu.org. Applicants who are selected into the program will be notified by email.
If selected for the program, the Guest Teacher must be available to attend two days of mandatory training on June 4, 2025 and June 5, 2025. No exceptions will be made. Upon completion of the two days of training, candidates will receive final paperwork (I-9 forms, Physical and TB forms) towards completion of their guest teacher packet which will be used for onboarding at the participating school district.
Conclusion of the Program:
The program concludes with the distribution of the Guest Teacher packet to the successful Guest Teacher. The Guest Teacher Packet includes all materials received by the CLIU from the point of application to the final paperwork materials and PDE emergency permit. The CLIU will prepare one copy of the materials and distribute them to the Guest Teacher. The Guest Teacher will be responsible for making multiple copies of the packet for distribution to each district they wish to apply.
The Meet and Greet session scheduled for July 28, 2025 concludes the program. The Guest Teacher can meet with School District Representatives from districts in which they choose to substitute. At the Meet and Greet session, School District Representatives will be accepting the Guest Teacher packet and distributing pertinent information that pertains to the district's substitute information and hiring process. The Meet and Greet session is a job fair for Guest Teachers only.
Renewal Process:
Each year after the initial training year the Guest Teacher will receive an email from the CLIU HR Department requesting information about the emergency permit renewal. The Guest Teacher is responsible for returning the information requested and $5 emergency permit fee (Check or Money Order only) by the deadline. The email is sent in June of each year and requested to be returned by July. This is a renewal for the Guest Teacher program and the emergency permit. Please note, it is your responsibility to update the CLIU of any changes to your contact information.
Lack of a response by the deadline date will eliminate the Guest Teacher from the program and will not allow the Guest Teacher to receive an emergency permit to substitute teach for the following school year. The response to the June email is separate from any materials a Guest Teacher may receive from an employing school district or career and technical institute. Guest Teachers who do not renew may reapply to the Guest Teacher Program and pay the initial program fee of $30 if accepted into the program.
