Hey all,
Everyone's telling me that substitute teaching is a good start in the workplace, especially for graduates with no teaching licence.
Anyone know the details of this kind of job?
How exactly does it go?
Do they call you the same instant they need a teacher or a few days in advance?
Does it mean that you can't be working in another job while being a substitute teacher 'cause they might need you any moment? Or what?
Can you choose which grades you want to teach?
Do they give you the curriculum and teaching methods or do you have to create your own?
Do you have to be prepared everytime "in case" they call you?
What exactly do you do in the classroom? is your role exactly as the absent teacher? How many days minimum/maximum do you teach in a month? How many days are you allowed?

Is this job worth it? do they give good pay? Is it reliable? Should I take this kind of a job instead of a low paying full time job?

Any cons/pros?

Thanks in advance for any help.
