DuPage Regional Office of Education Sub Training, March 6

On Wednesday, March 6 from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. the DuPage Regional Office of Education will offer the required training for individuals who qualify for a short-term substitute teaching license. The training will take place at the DuPage Regional Office of Education located at 421 North County Farm Road in Wheaton. The cost to attend is $50.

On July 1, 2018, Illinois House Bill 5627 was signed into law which allows individuals with 60 hours of college credit to apply for a short-term substitute teaching license. As a service to DuPage County school districts, the DuPage ROE will offer training that is required for this new short- term substitute teacher license. This training must be completed prior to teaching on this license.

Requirements and Information for the Short-Term Substitute License:

· Must hold an Associate's degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution of higher education or show completion of 60 semester hours of college coursework.

· Short-term substitute licenses are valid until June 30, 2023, and may not be renewed. Cannot teach more than five consecutive days per licensed teacher.

· Must complete a training program provided by the school board or Regional Office of Education prior to teaching on the license.

· Cannot serve as a Paraprofessional on the short-term sub license.

· There is a $25.00 application fee, no registration fee.

· Valid for substitute teaching in all grades of the public schools, pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

Although not required or developed for regular substitute teachers, the training is also open and available to those educators as well.
