Education Requirements
Alabama requires substitute teachers to hold a minimum of a high school diploma or GED along with at least 48 semester hours of college credit from a regionally accredited institution, or an associate's degree. A bachelor's degree is not required, though candidates who hold one may qualify for higher-level substitute positions with fewer restrictions.
Background Check
All substitute teacher applicants in Alabama must undergo a criminal background check, including fingerprinting processed through the Alabama State Department of Education and the FBI. The background check must be cleared before placement in any classroom. Results are typically returned within two to four weeks.
Age Requirements
Substitute teachers in Alabama must be at least 18 years of age at the time of application. There is no maximum age limit for substitute teaching in the state.
Application Process
Applicants should apply directly through the local school district in which they wish to substitute teach. Most Alabama districts manage their own substitute pools and may use third-party staffing services. Required documents typically include transcripts, identification, and background check authorization forms.
