Massachusetts State Requirements
Education Requirements
Massachusetts generally requires substitute teachers to hold a bachelor's degree, although requirements can vary by district since much of the substitute hiring process is managed at the local level. Some districts may accept candidates with fewer credentials for short-term substitute assignments. Official transcripts are typically required as part of the district application process.
Background Check
Massachusetts requires all substitute teachers to undergo Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) and Sexual Offender Registry Information (SORI) background checks. Fingerprint-based national background checks through the FBI are also mandatory under state law. These checks are initiated by the hiring school district and must be completed before the substitute can begin working.
Age Requirements
Substitute teachers in Massachusetts must be at least 18 years of age. Districts may set higher minimum age requirements at their discretion. The bachelor's degree expectation typically means most applicants are in their early twenties or older.
Application Process
Massachusetts operates a district-by-district hiring process for substitute teachers. There is no single statewide application portal for substitute teaching credentials. Candidates must apply directly with each school district where they wish to substitute teach, submitting transcripts, references, and background check authorizations as required by the individual district.
