Substitute Teacher FAQs

Q: Now that I have my Sub Permit, how do I apply for sub positions?

A: No, unfortunately you will need to apply to each district where you would like to substitute teach.

A: Everyone. Even if you have a Masteršs Degree, you are still required by state law to take and pass the CBEST.

Q: Is the CBEST only good for substitute teaching?
A: No, the CBEST is required for substitute teaching as well as a teaching credential.
