Oklahoma State Requirements
Education Requirements
Oklahoma requires substitute teachers to hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or to have completed at least 90 semester hours of college coursework. Candidates with 90 or more hours but no degree may qualify for a substitute teaching certificate with certain restrictions. Official transcripts documenting coursework or degree conferral must be submitted with the application.
Background Check
All substitute teaching applicants in Oklahoma must undergo a national criminal background check, including fingerprinting through an approved vendor. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) and FBI process the results, which are reviewed by the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE). A felony conviction or certain misdemeanor offenses may result in denial of the substitute certificate.
Age Requirements
Substitute teachers in Oklahoma must be at least 18 years of age. This applies to all categories of substitute teaching certificates issued by the OSDE.
Application Process
Candidates apply for a substitute teaching certificate through the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE). The application is submitted online and requires official transcripts, background check clearance, and applicable fees. Once certified, substitutes may be employed by any Oklahoma public school district. The OSDE typically processes applications within several weeks.
