Substitute teachers serve a vital purpose in the school system. When full-time teachers need to take a sick day or approved time off, a substitute teacher steps in and ensures lessons continue in the teacher’s absence. They keep students actively engaged and on-topic, while also allowing teachers a much-needed break from the workplace.

During recent school years, it has become increasingly obvious that school districts are faced with a substitute teacher shortage. Across the country, schools have been struggling to fill their need for substitute teachers. The substitute teacher crisis can be attributed to many factors, including economic improvement, lower unemployment rates and recent state and federal mandates requiring additional training for full-time educators.
