Become a Connecticut Substitute Teacher
Becoming a substitute teacher in Connecticut is a great way to introduce yourself to teaching in Connecticut's public education system. Substitute teaching provides individuals with first-hand experience without the commitment of earning full-time teaching credentials.
As a substitute teacher, you will become familiar with good pedagogy (the science of teaching) and classroom management techniques that experienced teachers share with you. You will have time to reflect on your experiences during your days off. You will also be forming valuable relationships with faculty who may be the people who offer you a full-time teaching position if you decide to pursue teacher certification and get a full-time teaching job.
It is important to understand, though, that the salary of a substitute is lower than salaries of certified, full-time teachers. Substitutes, on the other hand have more flexibility. Click on the following link if you wish to find out how to become a teacher in Connecticut.

"I decided to go to graduate school and earn my Master of Arts in Education because I am inspired by new knowledge. I feel in order to perform my job to the best of my ability, I need to keep up with current practices and trends in the field of education."
- Sara Marvez
-- 6th grade science teacher
"Gaining my Master's degree has earned me respect from administrators and colleagues. Also, my salary has benefited greatly. The cost of graduate school was paid off in only a couple years."
- Thomas Bjornson
-- high school English teacher
"Postgraduate study was a personal goal of mine, and completing my Master's degree has given me a great sense of personal satisfaction. It has also increased my efficiency in the classroom and my marketability in the job market."
- Janet O'Reilly
-- 8th grade social studies teacher
"I found my online courses efficient and friendly. I had a desire to go to graduate school, but I didn't want to go through the nonsense of another undergraduate degree, bumping shoulders with students a third my age who have very little understanding of real life or the benefits of real knowledge. A friend recommended online education and I haven't looked back since.
At the age of 53, I love my job more than ever. I get so much satisfaction knowing that many of my students respect me for what I do as a teacher.
I am able to face any sort of situation that arises in my classroom with complete confidence."
- Jonathan Lloyd
-- high school chemistry teacher
