How easy is it for substitute teachers to gain a permanent position? I have a friend who has been subbing A LOT trying to chase after a few open positions but so far hasn't heard anything. Is there something she can do to get more noticed?

I subbed for 7 years. I couldn't pay my monthly bills, so I finally took a job at a private school for 3 years. I've worked at two different charter schools since. Unless your friend knows someone who will help, he or she will probably have to look at other options.
Good luck 🍀 ☮️🙏

Would maybe say to make sure she is being proactive in telling whoever will listen that she’s very interested in a permanent spot! Where I’m at subs are really hard to come by, so they almost have to go out of their way to make it known they want something different. Nobody else is going to bring it up. Is she able to look around for open positions and apply, follow up, etc?

like

I keep telling her to try and talk to admin or whoever she sees! She has been applying to various positions but no luck so far. I have told her to just keep applying and hopefully she'll get something.

Have her talk with admin and let it be known that she wants a permanent position. At the same time, apply to the district/schools she’d enjoy working in. She doesn’t have to stay just in that district, either, but definitely ask for references from admin where she subbed. (That can be a double edged sword— they may not want her to get a job as subs are very difficult to find!!!)

Exactly! She is a great sub and so I feel like the schools she frequents don't want to lose her! I think extending out to other districts is great advice, thank you 😊
