Teaching Portfolio There are many reasons in which substitute teaching can be an attractive job choice for you. This is one of the few jobs that allow you to work flexible days/hours. You can be on call every day of the week, if you choose or just work a couple days to coincide with your schedule. Substitute teaching also offers the liberty of giving the educator the freedom to select a particular school or set of districts to work in.
Other advantages of substitute teaching are that it provides people, who are majoring in education, with excellent teaching experience. This type of experience looks great on any resume and will help you make an awesome first impression when you are applying for a permanent teaching position. Moreover, if you have children, substitute teaching jobs corresponds to their schedule. You usually don’t have to work when they are at home and you get all of the common holidays off. Some Texas districts offer bonus incentives, and first choice on permanent positions to those who have more teaching experience.
The process of becoming a substitute teacher is quite simple. All you have to do is visit your local school district and fill out an application. Texas school districts have their own requirements for substitute teaching positions, but most prefer at least a Bachelor’s degree. This degree does not necessarily have to be in the field of education, but it always helps if it is. As long as you have not been convicted of a felony, then you will probably be placed on a substitute teaching list for the district. | |
