Enjoy flexible hours and impact driven work.

There’s a teacher shortage happening in America. As a result, when a full-time teacher is sick, it’s hard to find a qualified substitute.

There’s plenty of qualified individuals capable of substitute teaching but many are unaware of the education challenges in their own town.

Becoming a substitute teacher in your community allows for students to see diverse representation in the classroom and offers you the opportunity to enjoy flexible hours while doing impact-driven work.

Whether you’re looking for full-time work or a part-time gig, substitute teaching offers a variety of benefits. Recent grads, freelancers, parents, and community members all make great substitute teachers!
