I really like the idea of a Sky High step, because I think it'd be similar to Doug's homelike (the whole school for kids with powers), plus the idea of teaching meta-kids using his own experiences and abilities in a floating school is one he'd probably love. And I can see him getting along well with his fellow teachers, especially Medulla (Doug - "Hey Medulla! Can you please move away a little, the glare from your head is getting in my eyes!" Medulla - "Sigh....". Just the shear variety and personality of the various characters, particularly the kids, would make this a very cool step to write in.
I kind of see him becoming a favorite amongst the kids, the cool teacher, akin to Professor Lupin in the Potterverse. Assuming Principal Powers could verify his credentials (maybe using his R.e.s.p.e.c.t. by Aretha) He'd be considered too much of an opportunity NOT to have on the staff.
And I think he could make a real difference in a number of ways, depending of course if he showed up pre, during or post movie, mainly in regards to the Infamous Sidekick - Hero divide, which he'd probably go nuts over (or perhaps choose to teach the less powerful but more devoted sidekicks in preference to the Heroes, to mass shock. And he'd probably see Gwen (aka Royal Pain's) plot to destroy the school coming a mile away.
From the teasers that've been released of the Harry Potter step (particularly the lecture on the nature of evil), The idea of Doug as a Teacher is one that is just screaming to be written, and I'm definitely regarding this as a high hopeful contender for a Step or Stagger.

Sky High is the story of fourteen-year-old William Theodore Stronghold (Michael Angarano), the son of two famous superheroes: the incredibly strong, invulnerable Commander (Kurt Russell) and the super fast flying Jetstream (Kelly Preston). He and his best friend Layla (Danielle Panabaker) are facing their first day of high school, which is even more daunting for Will since he will attend his parents' alma mater, a school for superheroes called Sky High
Sky High, the school in which the film is set, is a high school campus (complete with gymnasium and other buildings) that is placed on a flying island. The school's hall is equipped with anti-gravity technology that allows it to hover above the city, at an altitude above the cloud layer so it cannot be seen from the ground. The school keeps changing position, and the location is only known by a few individuals, including the school bus driver, Ron Wilson.
The curriculum at Sky High is strictly for heroes and sidekicks. One's course path is determined by a test that all new students must take. Depending on powers, students are placed as heroes or sidekicks. Heroes take more action-oriented courses like "Foundations of Mad Science" while sidekicks take classes such as "Motorcycle Sidecar Basics" and "Grammar for Sidekicks". Heroes and sidekicks both attend the gym class, which resembles more of an American Gladiators deathmatch than a real gym class.
The school is biased toward the heroes, giving them nicer-looking classrooms higher up in the school, whereas the sidekicks' classrooms are apparently in the basement levels, with little light. Apparently after the sidekicks saved the school in spectacular fashion, there will be reforms for more equitable treatment.
Sky High has extracurricular activities and clubs like regular schools (the yearbook shows that Gwen was a member of the science club). "Save the Citizen" is a traditional match played with two heroes and two villains. Two are chosen to save a doll-citizen while the other two are to keep them from achieving the said goal. The doll-citizen is hung over a large machine that consists of a number of whirling serrated blades. The rope descends every five seconds for three minutes, at which point the citizen will be destroyed by the machine. At one time, Mr. Boy remembers, with a half-serious glee, the days when they used 'real citizens' for the contest
