(SUB) SUBSTITUTE TEACHING
SUBSTITUTE TEACHING:
If you would like to substitute teach in any school district in ROE #39 Macon-Piatt Counties you will need to hold a valid Professional Educator License (PEL) OR Substitute Teacher License (SUB).
If you hold a Valid Teaching License (PEL) you DO NOT need a Substitute License.
If you hold a Paraprofessional License and have a bachelor's degree on file, you are qualified to be a substitute teacher and DO NOT need a Substitute License, but you do have to complete the substitute authorization process by completing the steps below that are applicable.
A Substitute License (SUB) is valid for 5 years and is renewable.
Note: You must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited 4-year institution for a Substitute License. (SUB)
STEP ONE: Obtain a Substitute Teacher License through the State of Illinois: If you have a valid teaching license (PEL), skip ahead to STEP THREE.
**A law is in effect that allows individuals who have worked at least 10 full school days on the substitute license to receive a refund from ISBE for your substitute application fee. The law is applicable to any educator who had a SUB license issued on or after July 1, 2017. Click here for more information
STEP TWO: Register your Substitute Teaching License:
Once the application status changes from “Pending Review” to “Issued” on your ELIS Account – you must register your license before it will be valid.
STEP THREE: How to obtain a Substitute Teacher Authorization letter from ROE #39:
Applicants wishing to be considered for a Substitute position must submit the substitute packet materials to ROE #39. The substitute packet includes the following:

If you do not have insurance, the cost is $70.00.
STEP FOUR: Fingerprinting:
