Substitute Teacher (on-call/as needed)

Description: Fieldcrest CUSD#6 needs substitute teacher aides and substitute teachers to be on standby when a teacher is sick or has professional development scheduled during the school day.

Both areas are wonderful opportunities for professionals with a paraprofessional license, associate’s (substitute teacher aide or short-term teaching assignment) or a bachelor’s degree (substitute teacher) and do not require teacher certification. With flexible and part-time hours, classroom teacher aides and substitute teacher positions are outstanding opportunities for:

• Recent college grads
• Stay-at-home parents transitioning back to employment
• Professionals in career transitions
• Early or young-at-heart retirees
• Graduate students enrolled in evening or online programs

The licensing process for teacher aides and substitute teachers is managed by The Regional Office of Education (ROE #53) for Woodford County, located in the ROE #53 office. The process is fairly simple requiring college transcripts or parapro test, a criminal background check and a license fee.

To find out more about becoming a substitute teacher, call the Regional Office of Education at 309-477-2290.
