Post: Substituting in DC
I recently moved to the DC area, and have previously been a
substitute teacher in South Florida. I am interested in
subbing here this school year, but I am having trouble
finding any information (besides the same ad that DCPS is
hiring subs, send your resume, etc, on every job website).
I'm hoping maybe someone here can provide a little more
information or point me to someplace I can find it (if such
a place exists). Im wondering what the pay rate is, are
there different pay rates based on education level/which
school you teach at; how the process works for obtaining
assignments (is it a central system that offers/assigns you
jobs anywhere in the district or is it a school by school
thing); can I pick a level that I prefer to teach (which
would be HS); what's the certification/licensure process?
A simple search for substitute teaching in Montgomery
County MD turned up a page with all of this info. Im
finding it hard to believe that such a resource doesn't
exist for DC, but as of yet, I haven't been able to find
anything.
Thanks so much for your help!
