      Substitute Teacher Workday

      • Schools have various starting times. Substitutes must be in the building at least 25 minutes before and after the school day. 7:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. is an elementary full day. At the secondary level, a full day runs from 7:25 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. Both include a duty-free 30-minute lunch.
         
        How often you work depends on your willingness to work in classroom settings and school buildings. Being flexible with the types of assignments and the number of schools could allow work during most days that school is in session.

      Pay Rates

      • The daily rate for a substitute teacher is $150.00 per day. A substitute teacher who does a long-term position (more than 10 days in the same position) moves to $175.00+ per day.

      Pay Schedule and Submission

      • Substitute teachers receive pay biweekly. Paychecks are direct deposited unless otherwise specified. Substitute teachers should verify all time and absence records on a weekly basis.
