West Virginia State Requirements

Education Requirements

West Virginia requires substitute teachers to hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution to qualify for a substitute teaching permit. The degree does not need to be in education, though education-related coursework is beneficial. Official transcripts are required as part of the application process.

Background Check

All substitute teachers in West Virginia must pass a fingerprint-based criminal background check through the West Virginia State Police and the FBI. Additionally, candidates are screened against the West Virginia child abuse and neglect registry. Clearance is required before the substitute permit can be issued.

Age Requirements

Substitute teachers in West Virginia must be at least 18 years of age. Candidates must provide valid identification to verify their age and identity as part of the permit application process.

Application Process

Candidates apply for a substitute teaching permit through the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE). The application includes submission of transcripts, completion of the background check, and verification of qualifications. After obtaining the state permit, candidates apply to individual county school systems for placement.
