If I hold a valid Professional Educator License, Educator License with Stipulations or Paraprofessional License, am I qualified to be a substitute teacher?

If an educator holds a valid Professional Educator License, Educator License with Stipulations, or a Paraprofessional License and holds a bachelor's degree (reflected on their ELIS account), they are qualified to be a substitute teacher. The Illinois State Board of Education does not require the educator to also hold a substitute teaching license, however, it is up to the hiring school district. Please contact the hiring school district to inquire about the required license.
