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.

 

1. Click on Registration under the Home tab and follow the steps. You will pay $60.00 plus a $2.00 convenience fee.
