If you are interested in making a difference in the lives of students and helping schools during the current educator shortage, the state of Illinois is making it easier than ever to become a substitute teacher and make some cash.
Here is how you can obtain a short term substitute teachers license.
You’ll need an associate degree or higher from a regionally accredited college or university OR at least 60 semester hours of 100 level or higher coursework from a regionally accredited college or university.
It’s FREE to apply. A $25 fee is required for the training.
Substitute teachers across the Chicago area can expect to make anywhere from $115 to $150 a day, although it varies district to district.
If this sounds like a plan for you, West40 can help make it happen. Our licensure specialists can assist you with the application process. Reach them at licensure@west40.org .
