I have a College degree but it is NOT in Teaching, but I would like to try it out as a part timer or sub or what have you, any adivde on how to go about applying for soemthing like that? certain websites dedicated towards teaching jobs or something? I live in Livonia, MI, just outside of Detroit…. please give me some ideas!
department of education in Michigan- what do I do once i go to this website?

LOL, I went to Livonia Stevenson! If you are interested in subbing you can just call the school district. I think that Livonia handles the subs within district. At least they did a few years ago when I was subbing there. Some districts use an outside company that manages the subs. You would probably want to register in a few districts so that you can get enough work and get your name out in a few places. You will also need to get a substitute teaching certification from the state. As long as you have at least 90 college credit hours you qualify. Unfortunately without a full teaching certificate you will not be able to do anything besides be a sub. I will let you know that finding a teaching job in MI is difficult, especially in the Detroit area b/c of the shrinking population.

    Just check the website for the department of education in Michigan. WIth a college degree you can get a certificate to substitute teach in most any subject. Then just apply to short term substitute in school districts near you. If you get "in", the principals like you, you get more calls, especially if you are good at classroom management. Expect to make between $75 to $150 a day (no benefits) depending on the school district.
