Minimum substitute teacher qualifications for the Smart Start training program include
- a clear criminal background check
- a minimum of 18 years of age
- two character references
- a minimum of a GED or high school diploma
- successful completion of the five day training; and
- a commitment to work a minimum of 4 days a month as a substitute teacher
I enjoyed the training classes provided at Mercer. The information was very detailed and comprehensive. I look forward to assignments and hope to enter this area as a permanent childcare professional.
