TeacherDF, congratulations on the nomination! They aren't easy to come by. Your appointment date will probably be in a week or two, followed by another week to 10 days of processing your information.

I live and Sub in CT. I never understood why New York subs have to be certified. In most other states including Connecticut you just need a bachelors in any field some just an associates or a certain number of college credits. If you are certified in teaching wouldn't you just take a full-time teaching job over subbing?

It seems like you have to jump through hoops and walk through fire to become a sub in New York City!!

"written assessment, oral evaluation and submission of said required forms and documents"

"Proof of completion of EdTraining Center (SubHub) online teacher training program
Proof of completion of the Child Abuse and School Violence Prevention Workshops
Proof of passing results or registration for the New York State Liberal Arts and Science Test" --taken from NYC department of education site.

I know the pay is higher but are they giving you benefits and summer pay for all this? All I had to do was show a copy of my transcript and pass a background check.

Hello, since I'am a certified teacher, it was pretty quick and easy for me to become a sub. However, if you are not certified, you have to do a whole lot more. Only as a para you get benefits and summer pay, not as a sub. I would def take a full time job over subbing however it is not that easy since there is a hiring freeze in some subjects so subbing until then subbing is perfectly fine for me.
