In Kansas you must have 60 credit hours of college and be fingerprinted for a complete back ground check with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. You must also have a physical and a TB test. Once you have passed this criteria, you are issued a certification for one year to substitute. You may reapply year after year.
We have a horrible shortage of teachers and substitute teachers. A substitute here could easily work every day of the week.

It depends on the school system and state you're subbing for. Many have no educational requirements at all. I have a bachelors degree and substitute, and I make more money at the schools I work at because of it. But, they allow anyone with a high school diploma. Some other schools can afford to be picky and require 60 or even 90 credit hours to sub. Some private schools prefer teaching licenses. You need to get a state substitute teaching license, which the school you want to sub at should guide you through applying for.
Also, I must say that kindergarten students are way tougher for me than high schoolers. Guess it depends on your personality. Special ed is really a treat...the kids are sweet, and you have teacher's aides to help you.

With Mississippi accents...that is so cute. Thank you for my grin for the day. Do you like the job where you are now? If so stick with it and do the sub when you retire. I'm sure in the near future we will have school teaching over the internet. Too much trouble at schools now and too much bullying. I would not mind doing this type of teaching. Not long ago a TV ad showed a child contacting a teacher over the internet and asking how to do a problem, the teacher explained the problem and taught the child how to solve it. Look into this. I'm sure you would like this. You can do it at home in the evenings.

I am sure it differs but I was a substitute for four hours one day and I never attended school for it. It was awful. Make sure you sub for kindergarten students. I had high school and I quit in the middle of the day!

The school I work at requires a high school diploma to sub. Where I used to work, they required minor in whatever area you wanted to sub in. It does depend on the state and district. Also, many districts require you to fill out paperwork and regiter with the county you are seeking to sub in. As for the classes, it does depend on your personality. If you are laid back, do not sub in classrooms where strict behavior enforcemant is necessary, such as a BD classroom. This would be difficult for you, in my opinion.

Where I live you need to be eligible to be a regular teacher. (Now) this means a four-year Bachelor's degree and teaching certification (normally in the form of a two-year Bachelor of Education degree).
