3. Complete Online Training Requirements
Non-Certified Substitute Applicants
Keller ISD utilizes the Substitute Teacher Training Program designed by and delivered by STEDI.org. This training program is a required part of the substitute application process for non-certfied substitute candidates. Substitute applicants are required to complete the SubSkills Online Training Package™ and pass the Online SubAssessment™ with a composite score of 85% or greater. Applicants who hold a valid Teaching Certificate or substitute teacher certification may waive the training and assessment portions.
There is a cost of $39.95 associated with the SubSkills Online Training Package™ which will be the responsibility of the applicant. Payment may be made online by credit card, check or money order. This cost will not be reimbursed by Keller ISD. The training fee provides the applicant online access for one year to additional substitute resources and training materials.
The training may only be taken online and includes 6-10 hours of interactive SubEssentials™ and SubSkills™ training. If you prefer not to study at a computer, you may purchase a handbook for an additional $19.95. It takes an average of thirty minutes to complete each of the five SubAssessment™ sections. Candidates may take each SubAssessment™ a maximum of four times to obtain a passing score of at least 85%.
Once training is complete, applicants should print or save a copy of the SubDiploma™ for their records. You will need to attach a copy to the completed Keller ISD Substitute Application. To access the online training, go to www.stedi.org. Select "Shop" in the top menu bar then select "Purchase Courses." You must attach a copy of your SubDiploma™ or your current Valid Teaching Certificate to your online application.
Certified Substitute Applicants
Applicants who have a valid Teaching Certificate are not required to complete the training and assessment portions. Certified substitute applicants must also register for and attend a Keller ISD substitute orientation session.

4. Complete required fingerprinting and background check.
Required State Fingerprinting Process
If you have not previously been fingerprinted through TEA, you will be sent an email from our Department with details to complete the process.
The 80th Legislative Session authorized Senate Bill 9 which expands the criminal history review by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) to all public school employees including substitutes. Substitutes must complete this process prior to being hired at KISD. Substitutes must pay a fee of $54.20 for this process. These fees will not be reimbursed by KISD. If you have had your fingerprints completed for another Texas School District, you should not have to have this process repeated; however, if you have completed fingerprinting for other reasons (including childcare providers, handgun license, etc.) you will be required to have them registered again to meet the requirements outlined in Senate Bill 9. Click here to view TEA Fingerprinting Rules and Senate Bill 9. Please note that hiring is dependent upon approved background check.
