SUB SPOTLIGHT
Ms. Casandra Leach is one of our awesome substitute teachers here at Chillicothe R-II Schools! Last year, she subbed strictly at the high school because that's where she felt she could help the students the most, and also because she enjoys working with the older students. She also noted that as a college student, working at the high school is also great because there is some down time when she can work on her assignments for school. This year, she has started subbing at the other schools around the District and says she has been at Dewey School quite often. She reports that she has really enjoyed being there and getting to know the students and their personalities.
Casandra is a 2020 Chillicothe High School graduate, currently attending Central Methodist University in pursuit of a teaching degree in Secondary English. She says she loves working as a substitute teacher in Chillicothe primarily because of the staff at the schools. "The staff at all the schools are awesome and help out with any questions. They are very accommodating of placing you in classrooms that you are most comfortable with."
We asked Casandra what she would say to anyone thinking about working as a substitute teacher within Chillicothe R-II Schools and this is what she said: “I would recommend being a substitute teacher to anyone! I chose to be a substitute while in college because I am planning to be a teacher and thought it would be a good experience. It's a great job for anyone who enjoys working with people and is looking for a flexible job!"
