What is teacher substitute pay?

Teacher substitute pay refers to the daily or hourly wage that substitute teachers receive for covering classes when the regular teacher is absent. The pay rate can vary significantly depending on the school district, location, the substitute's level of education, certification, and experience. Some districts pay a standard daily rate, while others may offer higher pay for long-term assignments or for substitutes with teaching credentials. On average, substitute teachers in the U.S. earn between $80 and $150 per day, but rates can be higher in certain areas or for specialized roles.

Is it hard to be hired as a substitute teacher?

Becoming a substitute teacher typically requires completing a certification or background check, and some districts may have specific qualification requirements.

Having relevant experience or education can improve chances of being hired.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a substitute teacher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Substitute Teacher, a solid understanding of classroom management, subject matter knowledge, and at least a high school diploma or bachelor's degree (depending on district requirements) are generally needed. Familiarity with digital attendance systems, learning management platforms, and sometimes a substitute teaching permit or certification is typical. Flexibility, strong communication, and the ability to quickly build rapport with students help substitutes stand out. These skills and qualifications are crucial for maintaining instructional continuity and fostering a positive classroom environment during teacher absences.

With our District's support, candidates can apply to obtain their Emergency Substitute Teaching certificate through the State of Washington.
 

How is an Emergency Substitute Teacher different than a regular Substitute Teacher?

Regular Substitute Teachers are those individuals who have completed a teacher preparation program and obtained their Washington State Teaching certificate.

  • If you already have a teaching certificate and want to be a Substitute Teacher, please apply for the Teacher - Substitute (WA State Certificate required) posting instead.

An Emergency Substitute Teacher is one who does not currently have a WA State Teaching certificate; these individuals are typically 'career-changers' looking to explore the teaching profession but have not completed a teaching program/received their teaching certificate.
