Eli5 – How do schools use substitute teachers? How do substitute teachers make reliable income?
In: Other
If you’re in a populated metro region, then substitute teachers are generally going to be qualified teachers who do not have a permanent position. They are getting teaching hours this way to help them get seniority to get a permanent position. Being in a metro region also means there is so many schools in the system that the amount of positions that need to be filled is pretty constant.
In a remote region, where the need for substitute teachers isn’t as high, they aren’t necessarily going to be the same type of substitutes. This is where you’ll find the stay-at-home moms or retirees picking up the occasional substitute day here or there. This is not a primary source of income, but basically occasional extra income.
