Substitute Teaching for fcps

[Anonymous]

Does anyone track their total amount made over the course of a school year? Obviously there's a huge variance, but if you try to do those high-pay days and sub, say 3-4 days a week. Can you take home around $25,000 or is that way out of line?

Pre-tax, and without the high-pay days, you’d have to work 160 of the 180 days of school, which is 4 days a week.

Why is it so difficult to apply for a job? If they really want people to work they’d just require a résumé.

I’d say that’s true for middle school as well. For elementary, it’s normally a variety of different worksheets with a couple of read alouds. If you’re thinking you’re going to “teach”, then keep your expectations very low.

I wound up doing quite a bit of teaching in a first grade classroom over the course of two weeks. Really depends on the teacher and what they leave for the sub to do (or not).

In 2024 I made just under $24k as a retired teacher substitute.

Are retired teachers paid a higher rate?

Yes. Sorry, that’s why I mentioned I’m a retired teacher. I could have added it’s about $5 more an hour.

2 weeks is a lot different than a one day plan.

Quoting myself to add more context. I would guess that the pay was for about 135 days worked and not all were full 7 hour days.

Looking at the math, wouldn’t almost all of those 135 days have to be full days to make $25,000?

Some were not full days. I'm not sure exactly how many. It is a guesstimate and I said I made just under $24k in the calendar year 2024. That's including $1,415 in "Misc Pay" (high volume day pay), "Temp Pay" (I'm not sure what that was), and a $500 bonus.

I know during the 24-25 SY I had 130+ jobs.

How does it work at the high school level-- are you agreeing to take all of a particular teacher's classes on the day they'll be out?

I am a sub at the high school level, and you’re correct. It is glorified babysitting, and it’s a glorious way to make extra money.
