Substitute teachers receive $40-$150 per 6 hour assignment. The sub teacher can refuse subjects at will, as they can also request assignments from all grade levels dependent on how capable they are of dealing with the students. Substitute teaching can be essential also for those who are unsure about their profession, as it gives them a "preview" of the teaching field. It also allows for more freedom to explore various teaching methods, to see what is effective. Days last 6-7 hours and ends when the teachers returns the keys back to the school. They don't grade any homework, make no lesson plans & carry no school related problems with them at home.
