Eli5 – How do schools use substitute teachers? How do substitute teachers make reliable income?
In: Other
Schools/school districts might have a number of permanent substitutes on staff, knowing that on any given day they’ll likely have X number of teachers out and have a need. Others may be on-call and available if needed, and may have a general idea of how often they’ll work but not be dependent on fulltime work… when I was a kid, I remember there was one regular sub in elementary school, but sometimes there’d be ones who were mothers of kids in the school, who likely left fulltime teaching when they started a family but were able to fill in when needed. Or retired teachers who wanted something to do occasionally without the stress of teaching daily.
