Pros

The online system links you to many school districts and convineitnly notifies you of assignment postings.

Cons

It was very difficult to work on a regular schedule and get assignments ahead of time. The districts switching to source4teachers resulted in an 11% pay cut.

Substitute Teaching not for everyone

Substitute teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of flexibility with your work schedule. The pay is O.K., but not enough for the stress involved. No two days are alike.

Cons

Lack of sufficient support from management. Lack of enough training. Many times you don't know what you'll face when you arrive in the classroom. One problem with classroom management, even noise level, and the school can eliminate you.
