Substitute Certifications - This page lists information about substitute teachers and school nurses.  Marshall County only considers sub applicants with a four-year degree.  Certification Info - West Virginia Department of Education (wvde.us).  Initial substitute teachers without full teaching credentials must visit Substitute (instructure.com) and login with your K12 email address (or Webtop account) and password to take the initial substitute permit training.  Email copies of the certificate of completion to the personnel department.  Substitutes looking to RENEW their certification need to provide a transcript showing six hours of education classes OR take the free substitute renewal permit training at the same link.  Proof of completion should be uploaded with the 2L or 2S renewal and emailed to personnel.
