Substitutes

All instructors are expected to adhere to the following procedures when finding a sub for any class

Independent Contractors are responsible for finding their own substitute teachers for any class they are unable to teach.

Need a Sub?

  1. Please email subs@designdance.net. Please include all relevent class information including school name, location address, ages, style.

  2. A substitute responds that they can take your class! Hooray!

  3. Complete a Substitute From (found on the Google Drive).

  4. Please copy and paste this form into a separate email or document, complete the form, and send it to info@brainchildcollective.co and the substitute teacher as soon as possible.

  5. Brainchild staff will then send your substitute rosters and calendar invitations

General Rules Rules Around Substitutes

  • Independent Contractors must be prompt in letting The Brainchild Collective administration know of any pre-scheduled vacation time or other time off.  

    • Programs managed by The Brainchild Collective require at least a one-week notice of any missed class.  

  • For the sake of continuity in the classroom, Design Dance programs do not allow more than 3 absences per session. 

  • Subs should be equally qualified to teach the class, including any additional background check requirements.

  • All subs for after-school and residency programs will be paid directly through The Brainchild Collective

  • If an instructor agrees to sub a class and has moved forward in the process of fulfilling that sub need, they are responsible for this program. Meaning, if an event occurs in which they are no longer able to sub, they are then responsible for finding supplement substitute instruction.

If a last minute emergency occurs:

The Independent Contractor must call (in addition to text or email) the folks below. Please also reach out to your personal network to find a sub as needed. If you are unable to find a last minute sub, the class will be canceled and a make-up class may be scheduled.
