With rising trends in education and experience requirements in our economy, it'll be interesting to see what kind of background a sub will need compared to a full-time teacher.<br />Great post!EschoolSolutionshttp://www.eschoolsolutions.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714058.post-66352111609205143452011-02-03T10:00:11.366-08:002011-02-03T10:00:11.366-08:00No longer a sub shortage in California because of ...No longer a sub shortage in California because of all the laid-off teachers. The Fresno Unified School District will now only sign up subs who have a teaching credential. And the credential must be in the area the teacher is subbing. Things are changing.

I...I, too, wonder where you got your statistics. I'm not personally aware of many parts of the country that have teacher shortages, unless perhaps in upper level math and science. School districts are cutting back and increasing class size, and many RIFed people are entering the sub market. If you want to write a scientific sounding article, you should back up your statements. I'd give this post a failing grade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714058.post-54321625165744768052011-01-21T11:41:31.569-08:002011-01-21T11:41:31.569-08:00I'm a certified math teacher in Oregon and I&#...I'm a certified math teacher in Oregon and I've been unable to get on any sub lists here. I can say with some assurance that we are not having either a sub shortage or a teacher shortage locally. <br /><br />It is possible that some rural areas have a sub shortage because they do not have enough work for anyone to make a reasonable living at it, but have days when they need 4 or 5 subs all at once and thus exhaust the pool of local teacher retirees. However, unless you were planning to retire to one of those areas anyway and happen to want about 10 days of work a year it wouldn't make sense to move there for such a "job".<br /><br />This is pretty clearly an ad for the website your "guest blogger" writes for rather than anything useful to your regular readers.

The only links I see go to onlineschools.org. <br /><br />I'm on several different lists. One district has over 150 subs on their list.<br /><br />I get consistent work, but that's only because I hover over the automated system like a vulcher. <br /><br />15 bucks an hour to sub? Sign me up for that.Boffahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170634274158202872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714058.post-65885432739962918722011-01-11T21:37:12.568-08:002011-01-11T21:37:12.568-08:00I would be very interested in seeing some credible...I would be very interested in seeing some credible citations and/or statistics links regarding substitute shortages. Education is a good chunk of the state budgets in the US and along with everything else, are subject to dire cuts in these poor economic times. I would expect there would be more substitutes out there as riffed teachers, teaching graduates, and early retirement teachers move into the sub pool when they can't get hired. <br /><br />In the Puget Sound region of Washington State (it includes Seattle, Bellevue, and the bigger cities in western washington), we are seeing record number of applicants for sub jobs AND teaching jobs. Many school district are not even hiring subs because they already have enough. I sense this is the case from the teacher blogs I'm reading as well in other states. <br /><br />I recognize this is only my personal experience in one geographic area so there could very well be a shortage of subs in other states. I'm very curious to find out where.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424612435894781082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714058.post-67857367319227790422011-01-11T20:47:55.212-08:002011-01-11T20:47:55.212-08:00Very interesting an informative.
