Check out some of the requirements for substitute teaching in each state according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nea.org\/home\/14813.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Education Association<\/a>:<\/p>\n<h2>Substitute Teacher Certification<\/h2>\n<p>Each of the following states require substitute teacher candidates to hold a valid substitute teacher certification. However, what this means differs in each state. Some states want to hire people with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teachercertificationdegrees.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teaching license<\/a>, and other states want to hire someone who passes a course created by the state. The states that check for certification are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alabama<\/li>\n<li>Alaska (if subbing for more than 19 days)<\/li>\n<li>Colorado<\/li>\n<li>District of Columbia (along with a bachelor\u2019s degree or more than 60 semester hours)<\/li>\n<li>Idaho (in the larger school districts)<\/li>\n<li>Iowa<\/li>\n<li>Michigan<\/li>\n<li>Minnesota<\/li>\n<li>Missouri<\/li>\n<li>Montana<\/li>\n<li>Nebraska<\/li>\n<li>New Hampshire<\/li>\n<li>New York (with a passing score on the state test)<\/li>\n<li>North Dakota (current teacher\u2019s license)<\/li>\n<li>Oregon<\/li>\n<li>Pennsylvania<\/li>\n<li>West Virginia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you plan to work in any of these states, research the school districts\u2019 substitute teacher requirements to find out what you need to do to find a substitute position.<\/p>\n<h2>Bachelor\u2019s Degree and\/or College Courses<\/h2>\n<p>Some states want substitute teachers to have a bachelor\u2019s degree. Other states want to hire individuals who have completed at least 60 college credits. Some of the states that have these requirements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>California<\/li>\n<li>Connecticut<\/li>\n<li>Illinois<\/li>\n<li>Indiana<\/li>\n<li>Kansas<\/li>\n<li>Nevada (Bachelor\u2019s degree or 62 credit hours with 6 credit hours in education)<\/li>\n<li>New Jersey<\/li>\n<li>Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>Wyoming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>No Credentials<\/h2>\n<p>There many states that don\u2019t require certification or college courses. Instead, these states require individuals to have their high school diploma or <a href=\"http:\/\/study.com\/articles\/How_to_get_a_GED_a_Step-by-Step_Process_to_Earn_a_GED.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GED<\/a>. They also run background checks. Other than that, they don\u2019t require much more. Why? Because many of these states struggle to find substitute teachers.
