A board of trustees of a school district that has entered into an agreement pursuant to NRS 391.095 shall, before assigning a long-term substitute who is not a licensed teacher, assign a student teacher who satisfies the requirements of subsection 2 as a substitute teacher.2.
A student teacher who has completed not less than 4 weeks of student teaching in a school district pursuant to NRS 391.095 may apply to the board of trustees of that school district for employment as a substitute teacher. The application must include the written approval of:(a)
The teacher who supervises the student teacher through the Nevada System of Higher Education or accredited postsecondary educational institution, as applicable; and(b)
The teacher who is responsible for supervising the student teacher in the classroom.3.
If a school district employs a student teacher as a substitute teacher pursuant to this section, the school district shall ensure that the student teacher is:(a)
Assigned to teach in the subject area and grade level, as applicable, in which the student teacher is completing his or her student teaching.(b)
Supervised by a licensed teacher. A licensed teacher so assigned must:(1)
Be available to assist the student teacher and observe the student teacher on a periodic basis; and(2)
Oversee the management of the classroom, instructional duties and administrative duties of the student teacher.4.
A student teacher who is employed as a substitute teacher pursuant to this section is entitled to the rate of pay otherwise payable to substitute teachers employed by the school district for each day the student teacher works as a substitute teacher. Nothing in this section entitles a student teacher who is not employed as a substitute teacher to be paid for time spent completing his or her student teaching, including, without limitation, time spent completing course work and assignments required for completion of a program of study offered by the Nevada System of Higher Education or an accredited postsecondary educational institution.5.
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the board of trustees of a school district that employs a student teacher as a substitute teacher pursuant to this section shall, in consultation with the employee organization representing licensed teachers in the school district, provide for compensation of the licensed teacher who supervises the student teacher pursuant to subsection 3 that is in addition to the regular salary of the licensed teacher. The board of trustees is not required to provide additional compensation to:(a)
A licensed teacher who is employed by the school district for the primary purpose of supervising student teachers and who is not otherwise employed for the purpose of providing classroom instruction to pupils; or(b)
A licensed teacher who receives compensation from the Nevada System of Higher Education or an accredited postsecondary educational institution for supervising student teachers.6.
