NTR: Question about Subbing

Brandiebabe

My SIL is convinced that she is going to be a sub. I was telling her that I thought you needed to have a degree to sub, but she is saying you don't.

Does anyone know anything about this?

It depends on the state...in Ohio you have to have a bachelor's degree.

Depends on the state. In Indiana you have to have something like 30 college credit hours in any field.

In NJ you need 60 college credits in any field

It also depends on the district.  My school district is so overwhelmed by subs that it started saying you have to have a teaching license to sub.

WI you need a teaching license or a subbing license.  But, you would definitely have to see the state.

In my district, you need a BA to sub.   Depending on whether you have a BA, MA or teaching certificate changes how much you get paid (least to most).

In Colorado you have to have a Bachelors Degree.  DH was filling out paperwork to be a sub right before he got his current job

In CT it depends on the school district... but the vast majority of districts will only take subs with a B.A. I believe it can be in any subject.

In order to be a long-term sub (like with the same class for weeks at a time, covering for maternity leaves, etc) you have to have a teaching cert. in the appropriate subject.
