CC offers new class for substitute teachers

Casper College is offering a new class this summer to help residents interested in working as a substitute teacher with the school district.

Effective Substitute Teaching, EDUC 1401, will run from May 17 to June 11 each Monday and Wednesday, from 4-6 p.m. in Liesinger Hall, Room 163.

“As a substitute teacher, you are asked to be organized, detail-oriented and able to adjust to any situation that occurs in the classroom,” said Casper College education instructor Thom DeVoogd. “I’ve designed this class to provide practical and thoughtful approaches to lead any classroom,” he noted.

The two-credit class will cover myriad teaching topics, including knowledge of learning styles, implementing different teaching methods, and classroom management techniques.

For more information about the class, contact DeVoogd at 307-268-2226 or tdevoogd@caspercollege.edu. To register for the class, go to the Casper College website at caspercollege.edu/admissions/types/non-degree.
