Requirements vary based on the position, but in general, substitute teachers need a minimum of 60 college credits/AA degree and paraprofessionals need a minimum of high school diploma.

No prior experience is required.  All you need is a clean background and a 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. However, there is a minimum requirement that all employees work one day within first 30 days of hire, and then three Mondays or Fridays in a given 45-day calendar period.

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.

We pay our substitute employees what our school districts would pay. Pay rates vary based on district and position type, and employees are paid weekly. 

Please refer to the school district website for the most up-to-date information.
