• Degreed:  A conferred Bachelor's degree

2. Interview 
3. Background checks/I-9 completion 
4. Online training 
5. Paid orientation

No prior experience is required. All you need is to pass a background check and have the desire to help students learn and grow every day. Then you’re well on your way to becoming a great substitute teacher.  

We pride ourselves on flexible work opportunities, so we do not require a regular hourly or daily commitment. However, given the critical need for substitute teachers and other staff, we encourage our employees to work at least two days a week, when possible. (You must also work at least one shift every 150 days to remain eligible for assignments).

Prior to your first assignment, substitute educators receive thorough online classroom management training to help you become a capable classroom leader. We also provide free online professional development courses to help you understand how students learn in order to create a positive learning environment. All substitute employees – regardless of position -- receive paid orientation that covers Kelly Education employment and district-specific policies and procedures.
