GUEST TEACHERS

How to Qualify

Guest Teachers are required to be licensed by the Colorado Department of Education. If you have been through a teacher preparation program, you can work as a Guest Teacher with either the regular teaching license or the 5-year substitute authorization.

If you have not been through a teacher preparation program, Jeffco hires Guest Teachers who hold the 1-year or 3-year substitute authorization. More information about these authorizations are located on CDE's website.

For all licenses and authorizations, CDE requires:

1. Fingerprints submitted specifically for CDE
2. Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
3. Valid and acceptable proof of lawful presence

Beyond that, you will need to consult the license checklist on the CDE website for additional requirements.
