Education Requirements
Delaware requires substitute teachers to hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution for a Standard Substitute Certificate. Candidates without a bachelor's degree but with at least 60 college credit hours may qualify for a Limited Substitute Certificate, which restricts the grades and subjects the substitute may cover.
Background Check
All substitute teachers in Delaware must pass a criminal background check that includes Delaware State Bureau of Investigation and FBI fingerprint screening. Additionally, applicants must pass a Child Protection Registry check. Background clearances must be obtained before the substitute can begin any classroom assignment.
Age Requirements
Substitute teachers in Delaware must be at least 18 years of age. This minimum age requirement applies to all categories of substitute teaching certificates issued by the state.
Application Process
Candidates apply for a Delaware substitute teaching certificate through the Delaware Department of Education's online DEEDS (Delaware Educator Data System) portal. The application requires official transcripts, completed background check documentation, and the applicable fee. Once certified, substitutes apply to individual districts or charter schools.
