Do you have a 4 year College Degree OR 5 years Experience in a Career/Tech Area?

Being a substitute teacher is highly rewarding and a way for you to pass along your knowledge to the next generation. In the state of Minnesota, a person with a 4-year degree (in any field) from a U.S.regionally accredited college/university OR 5 years of experience in a career and technical area such as Ag(farming), Construction, Business Ownership, Medical Services, etc. is eligible for a substitute license!

When you are a substitute teacher at Windom Area Schools, you can choose the level and content area that you’d like to work in! You can work one day a month or every day! The options are endless!

The more you work, the greater the pay! The daily rate of pay increases the more days you work ranging from $150 per day to $200 per day.

Join the Windom Area Schools Team! Contact our licensing specialist Heather Van Dyke at hvandyke@isd177.com or our HR specialist Mandy Miller at amiller@isd177.com for more information.

Hey Retired Teachers!

Legislation passed suspending earning limitations for the next three fiscal years (2022, 2023, & 2024). This means you can be a guest teacher (substitute) and not be penalized for your retirement benefits. You can accept or deny jobs based on your schedule for the day! And retired Windom Teachers are paid $175 per day until 11 days are accumulated, then you are paid $200 per day! This is determined monthly. If you work 1-10 days during the month you get paid $175 per day. If you work 11 or more you get paid $200 for all 11+ days! Please contact Mandy Miller at amiller@isd177.com to be placed on the call list.
