1 Check the requirements

The first step to becoming a substitute teacher is to check the requirements in your state or district. Each state has its own regulations and standards for substitute teachers, such as education level, certification, background check, and training. Some states require a bachelor's degree or a teaching license, while others only require a high school diploma or an associate's degree. You can find the specific requirements for your state on the National Education Association website or by contacting your local school district.

Becoming a substitute teacher typically involves a few key steps. The specific requirements can vary by location, so it's important to check with the school district or education department in the area where you want to substitute. However, here are some general steps you can follow: Education Requirements: Most places require a minimum level of education, often a high school diploma or equivalent. Some districts may prefer candidates with at least some college education. Complete Any Necessary Training: Some regions may require substitute teachers to undergo training before they can start working.

2 Apply for a permit or license

Once you meet the requirements, you need to apply for a substitute teacher permit or license from your state or district. This is usually a simple and quick process that involves filling out an application form, paying a fee, and submitting your transcripts, fingerprints, and other documents. Depending on your state, you may also need to pass a basic skills test or a subject-matter exam. You can find the application forms and instructions on your state's department of education website or your district's human resources office.

En Chile al menos, para convertirte en maestro sustituto, generalmente se necesita tener un título universitario y estar actualizado en cuanto a formación y/o experiencia en el nivel al cual trabajar.

3 Find a job

After you get your permit or license, you can start looking for a job as a substitute teacher. There are different ways to find a job, such as registering with a substitute teacher agency, signing up for an online platform, or contacting schools directly. You can also network with other teachers, principals, and administrators to get referrals and recommendations. You may have to complete an orientation or training session before you start working as a substitute teacher. You can also choose to work part-time or full-time, depending on your availability and preference.

4 Prepare for the classroom

As a substitute teacher, you need to be prepared for the classroom environment and the expectations of the students and the regular teacher. You should always arrive early, dress professionally, and bring your ID and permit or license. You should also review the lesson plans, attendance sheets, and emergency procedures provided by the regular teacher or the school. You should also bring some extra materials, such as books, games, worksheets, or activities, in case you need to fill in some gaps or deal with unexpected situations.

Substitute teachers must be flexible and adaptable as expectations can vary significantly within districts and even in schools. Some regular teachers offer guest teachers a lot of preparation and guidance while others may not be very helpful. If you're a sub it may be useful to ask around -- including other teachers covering the same grade or subject area. You can also inquire at the school's administrative office and, in some cases, ask reliable students.

5 Manage the students

One of the most challenging aspects of being a substitute teacher is managing the students' behavior and learning. You need to establish rapport, respect, and authority with the students from the beginning. You should introduce yourself, explain the rules and expectations, and follow the regular teacher's instructions. You should also use positive reinforcement, praise, and feedback to motivate and engage the students. You should also handle any problems or conflicts calmly, firmly, and respectfully. You should also document and report any incidents or issues to the regular teacher or the school.

You can also gain valuable experience and skills that can help you advance your teaching career or pursue other opportunities. You can also enjoy the satisfaction of making a difference in the students' lives and helping them learn and grow.

To be a substitute teacher is your opportunity to learn and implement diverse methods of teaching, classroom management, and handling students. Flexibility of choice, time, and subject helps expose the subject teacher to different kinds of learning environments and working with experienced and professional teachers of one's choice. This is the best kind of on-the-job training a prospective teacher can have. Teaching is very exciting and rewarding if you learn the art of teaching and understand child psychology.
