Effort Continues to Recruit Substitute Teachers
CHARLESTON – Get ready to embark on an exciting career as a substitute teacher! Area schools currently have a high need for substitute teachers and many area districts have recently raised substitute pay. Now is the perfect time to begin a rewarding career working with students.
Regional Office of Education #11 is hosting ‘Subs for Subs’ on Friday, August 18 to assist those interested in becoming a substitute teacher and guide them through the entire process. All who register and attend the event will receive on-site assistance for completing licensure paperwork, complimentary fingerprinting, short-term substitute teacher training, and sub sandwiches provided by Grand Canyon University for lunch. Attendees will also be able to engage in discussions and ask any questions pertinent to serving as a substitute teacher.
“The need is great within our region,” said Licensure Officer Braddi Browning. “The process can often feel overwhelming, so our hope is that this event will be helpful as we walk these substitute teachers through the process and help them feel prepared and confident to begin their journey.” The daily pay rate has increased significantly over the past few years, now ranging from $95-$135 across the region.
Registration for the event can be found on ROE #11’s website (roe11.org) and social media. Those interested may contact the Regional Office of Education #11 at (217)348-0151.
