Wyoming Substitute Teacher Requirements

To substitute teach in Cheyenne, you must meet these Wyoming state requirements:

Education Requirements

Wyoming requires substitute teachers to hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university to obtain a standard substitute teaching permit. The degree may be in any field. In areas with critical shortages, the Professional Teaching Standards Board (PTSB) may consider candidates with fewer qualifications under emergency provisions.

Background Check

All substitute teachers in Wyoming must complete a fingerprint-based criminal background check through the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and the FBI. The background check is a mandatory component of the substitute permit application through PTSB and must be cleared before the permit is issued.

Age Requirements

Substitute teachers in Wyoming must be at least 18 years of age. Verification of age is conducted through government-issued identification submitted as part of the permit application to PTSB.

Application Process

Candidates apply for a substitute teaching permit through the Wyoming Professional Teaching Standards Board (PTSB) online system. The application requires submission of transcripts, completion of the background check, and payment of the application fee. After obtaining the PTSB permit, candidates apply to individual school districts for substitute teaching opportunities.

Substitute Teaching Permit/License

The Wyoming Professional Teaching Standards Board (PTSB) issues substitute teaching permits that are valid statewide. The standard substitute permit requires a bachelor's degree and is typically valid for five years. PTSB may also issue emergency substitute permits in areas experiencing critical teacher shortages.
