Have you ever wanted to substitute in your school district?
Subbing is a flexible, convenient, and rewarding opportunity that many can take advantage of.
Getting a substitute certificate can be simple, and once done, there is a significant need for substitute teachers here in Kaneland.
Please follow this link for additional information.
There are two pathways to becoming a substitute teacher
If you hold a Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college/university, you may obtain a full substitute license.
If you have an Associates Degree OR sixty (60) credit hours from an accredited college/university, you may obtain a short-term sublicense.
The short-term substitute license has various limitations and would only be valid until June 30, 2023.
If you are interested in subbing and qualify under either of the pathways above, simply click on this link to the Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS) and start an account. Follow the prompts to apply for a Substitute License. The State will provide you with an email to send official college transcripts to so that you can finalize the process. Once you have a license issued from the State, please contact the building principal for a screening interview.
If you have any questions or need any additional information or help, please contact Dr. Chris Adkins, Director of Human Resources at 630-365-4114 or via email at 75522@kaneland.org.
“Yoga for kids helps promote flexibility, balance, and strength. Beyond the many physical benefits, yoga can help promote patience, focus, and mental clarity in children. Yoga practice can help a child to learn to take a moment to themselves to breathe and find their calm while building individuals' self-esteem and self-respect. Rather than focusing on perfect poses, we place emphasis on children's individual selves, their minds and bodies, and what feels comfortable to them.”
