Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Laura Turner, and today I'm going to talk with you about how to become a substitute teacher. Becoming a substitute teacher is not very hard, in fact you don't actually have to have a degree in order to do it, but you should probably be, you know, out of high school before you try to apply. The first thing you're going to want to do is apply to volunteer at your local high school. You're going to probably get paid about minimum wage to do this substitute teacher job, so it's almost like volunteering. Secondly, have some experience as a teacher, in order to be a good substitute teacher, but experience, of course, is like I said, not necessary, but it will help you to become a substitute teacher. And sometimes people who are subs go on to become teachers, so this could be your first teaching experience as well, so that you could see whether or not you would actually like to do it. And finally, when ever you substitute for a class, if you're trying to substitute in order to find out if you want to be a teacher, know that this class belongs to another teacher, so it's going to be harder for you to sort of teach them anything, so you're going to be more of a stand in, and it's really not going to feel completely like having your own class. So the best way, the best route to becoming a teacher is going to be actually going to get your teaching degree and doing some student teaching, because subbing is a lot more like, well frankly, babysitting in many cases. But it's a good thing to do in your spare time if you enjoy doing that kind of thing and you need a little part time job, so good luck subbing."
