Be a Substitute for TCGIS
We are currently accepting applications for substitute teachers for the 2016-17 school year! Substitute teaching is a great way to get more involved with the school community and get to know our outstanding student body better--while getting paid! Substitute shifts are very flexible, and can be full-day, half-day, or hourly, depending on your availability.
To substitute with Twin Cities German Immersion School, you need a valid Short Term Substitute license through Minnesota Department of Education. Please contact Gael Braddock at
