here in AR you must have at least 45 hours of college credit to be able to sub teach ...I am not sure of other states. but that's how it is here. When I first started sub teaching I did it fresh out of high school and had no college but it was changed a few years back...check with the indiv. schools and see what their req are.

In most states you have to have some college to Substitute teach. When I subbed in IL, I needed 60 hours of college. In Indiana you only needed 30, but 60 was recommended. Check with your state and your local districts. My guess is that you would have to at least be 18 to substitute. Where I am from they are always in need of special ed aides and subs that only need a H.S. Diploma.

In the district I teach in you have to be 18, and you have to have a diploma. You don't have to have any college, but you do have to go through district sub training to be on the list. The best way to find out what the rules are where you live is to contact the district (try their web site) and ask questions.

I think it depends on what state you live in but I know of a few States that uses substitute teachers with only a highschool diploma.

you have to have a college degree to sub.
my goodness, i am shocked that you can sub with only a high school diploma. in calif, you have to have a college degree or at least 90 units towards one. i cant believe its not that way in all the states, especially with no child left behind.

In Oklahoma my ex- sister in law, and honest to goodness eight grade graduate substituted at webbers falls after receiving her GED. I guess they just wanted a babysitter.
I do think it would be very difficult for someone so young as you to sub in upper grades. But working in lower grades (perhaps first as an aide) would be excellent experience and let you know if teachin is something you would enjoy as a career.

I don't know about all states, but I can speak for Pennsylvania, Florida, and Wisconsin. You do need a college degree to be a sub.

It is completley dependent upon the state that you live. Here in Arizona, you must have a college degree, but it can be in absolutley anything! So if you have a nursing degree, for example, they would consider you qualified to substitute teach.

In NM you need so many hours of college credits. Go to the school adminstration building and ask.

That is not true in most states - however it might be true in the state you are from. I don't know what state that is so I can't verify that for you.
Good luck!!!
