Sub jobs can come through either the district or the ESD where you
live. For instance in Central Oregon all our subs come through
the High Desert ESD. Best bet would be to check with the
districts you would like to sub in and see where you need to sign
up. Personally, I'd rather have a classified job than substitute
teach.. that way you'd actually get some experience in the
classroom, and benefits.

***If you don't have a teaching certificate you can only sub 60
days a year. check out
