Education Requirements
Vermont does not require a bachelor's degree for short-term substitute teaching assignments. For short-term positions (typically up to 30 consecutive days in the same assignment), a high school diploma or equivalent is generally sufficient. However, long-term substitute positions require a bachelor's degree and may require a Vermont educator license issued by the Agency of Education (AOE).
Background Check
All substitute teachers in Vermont must pass a criminal background check, including fingerprinting through the Vermont Crime Information Center (VCIC) and the FBI. The background check must be completed and cleared prior to the first day of substitute teaching in any Vermont public school.
Age Requirements
Substitute teachers in Vermont must be at least 18 years of age. Proof of age through government-issued identification is required as part of the hiring process.
Application Process
In Vermont, substitute teacher hiring is managed by individual supervisory unions or school districts. Candidates apply directly to the district or supervisory union where they wish to work. The application process typically includes submission of an application form, references, background check authorization, and verification of educational qualifications.
