Steps to Become a Lovejoy ISD Guest Educator/Substitute
Thank you for your interest in Lovejoy ISD’s Guest Educator/Substitute program! We believe that, “There’s no substitute for a great Guest Educator!” Therefore, when a classroom teacher must be out, Lovejoy ISD’s Guest Educator programs are designed to maintain the highest quality of learning and continuity of care in our classrooms.

Our current application types include:
-
- Guest Educator Application
- Nurse Substitute

After your application is received it will be reviewed by a hiring manager. Lovejoy ISD requires a minimum of two references for guest educators and at least one must be from a current or past supervisor. You may upload reference letters in addition to the surveys that will go out automatically with the submission of your application. Your application will not be considered complete without these required references. Applications are reviewed and processed based on district need.
