The Substitute Teaching Institute at Utah State University is pleased to present the 7th National Substitute Teacher Recognition Week, also known as SubWeek. These five days are dedicated to the approximately 270,000 men and women that fill in for permanent teachers everyday in the United States. This week is meant to be celebrated in conjunction with Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5-9, 2008.

Days for the seventh annual SubWeek are May 5-9, 2008.

Because of permanent teacher absenteeism, few realize one full year of a child's K-12 education is taught by substitute teachers. Often with limited training, these valued educators fill a void in what is oftentimes challenging situations.
