Cadre Substitute Teacher in Chicago, IL
on June 5, 2023
As a substitute teacher your role varies depending on the school.
A substitute teacher experience depends on the school’s you worked at. The schools represent the neighborhood. Although, there are good schools in high crime areas.I have had poor experiences in schools, and I have had awesome experiences in one high school where I have been a substitute for 8 years. If the salary was better I would stay.

Productive work place
Typical day includes providing direct services to caseload students. Will also have to perform first aid to general student population and staff. Hours are steady and set. Summers and major holidays off. Good work and home balance.

Lots of ups and downs
Every school is different but the 2 I’ve worked in were toxic environments due to the poor leadership. Students can be challenging at times but many parents are supportive.

Understaffed
Working as a school nurse in CPS a common issue is assigned to multiple schools. Some school nurses are assigned up to 8 schools. New management are not certified in school nursing and know little to nothing on how to manage school nurses and student concerns. School Nurses manage the care of students daily from different locations and not onsite.

Good pay with Flexible Hours
For someone just graduating college, or looking to fill time between jobs within your profession, I think subbing in CPS is a great idea. The pay is pretty good, and you select your assignments and the days you work. The biggest task for you to do is finding schools you enjoy subbing at. Once you do that, the job becomes great!
