What website can I go to for becoming a substitute teacher? How long does the process take?

Question

I have my teaching degree and I live in Kansas

Answer 1

I suggest that you go to the website of the district that you would like to substitute in. Usually the districts list their requirements along with their substitute applications on their websites. I would also go to the state education board to see if their are a list of general requirements that you would have to meet to be able to substitute for the entire state. Good luck.

Answer 2

Many school districts here in Texas only require that you have 30 hours of college. Since you are a certified teacher you should be more than qualified. A lot of districts allow you to apply online, so you would need to apply that way. Since you want to substitute, you apply as Support, not professional. Professional applications are for full time teachers, although some of them may ask if you are interrested in a sub position. You may then have to go through an orientation and training. Then it is just a matter of getting a call.

Answer 3

Contact the Kansas State Board of Education, 120 SE 10th Avenue, Topeka, KS 66612-1182. Phone: [phone]. An application for certification will be sent to you.

State requirements for certification of full-time and substitute teachers vary. Prepare several copies of all college transcripts, degrees, and current or past teacher certification from other states. Certification may take as long as eight to ten weeks.

Contact local school systems for immediate employment as a substitute. An application is usually required, although a degree or certification is not. Your hourly or daily pay, and the number of days you will be eligible to substitute, will depend on your level of education, certification.

Answer 4

The information varies by state. For instance in maine you have to have a 4 year degree and can only be a sub for 60 days of the school year.
In georgia, you call the local county board of education and they tell you to go online, print form, fill it out and return then you have to return for an orientation. You also have to pass a criminal background check which is required in all states. They run from 10-20 dollars.

Answer 5

I'm assuming that you are already a certified teacher. If not, then I think all states require at least a bachelor's degree in education. If you are a teacher, check the state employment opportunities and call local schools.

Answer 6

Go to your state board of education. Try googling it. For Illinois, it's something with ISBE in it (Illinois State Board of Education).
It's pretty easy and fast.

You pay somewhere around $50.
You'll have to get tested for TB, have a physical done, and have a criminal background check completed.
Then you go and submit your susbstitute information to local schools and school districts, and once all the paperwork is done, they'll start calling you whenever they need subs.

Answer 7

Have you graduated from High School? If yes, just go to your local school and fill out an employment form. Depending on what grades you can substitute for, you may be able to start in the fall.
If you haven't graduated from HS, I don't know. Call your local school and ask.

Answer 8

Yeah, I would find the website for the local school system, then look there for info. Most likely you'll have to go to a school and apply there though, so that they can have your records on file and call you up if needed, or something like that).

Answer 9

In our state, no prerequisite education is required. You just go to the school and apply. You'll need references and records checks, but it doesn't take long. Good luck.
