“If you want to get into teaching or you're thinking about it, it's a great way to go into different schools and explore what you want to teach. The flexibility is awesome.”
Robert
Swing Sub
“I became a substitute teacher because it was a great job that was really flexible and could work with my other career plans. I've always been unsure about whether or not I want to become a teacher and I feel that being a substitute teacher is perfect because I'm able to see what it's like to work with different students of all different ages and different grade levels.”
Lilian
Swing Sub
“Don't hesitate, just do it. If you love teaching, if you love spending time with children and you want to make a positive difference in children's education experiences, you'll love it. I promise they'll love it. So just go for it and just do it. Everything is pretty straightforward.”
Menaal
Swing Sub
“You feel like a hero when you're pitching in and knowing that all of our schools are in need of good teachers and that our teachers are in need of support. It's a pretty great thing to offer society.”

Swing Sub
“It's always something that you could supplement your income with. And depending on which schools that you're in, that opens you to see other areas of education and different paths you can take.”
