The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has approved Ozarks Technical Community College’s class “Orientation to the Teaching Profession” as substitute teacher training.
Angie Miller, Department Chair for Teacher Education at OTC, says in a press release that by offering this program to students during their first semester, they can become substitute teachers while completing their degrees.
Previously, 60 college credit hours were required to substitute teach, but in the fall of 2021, the State Board of Education changed it to either 60 credits or a high school diploma and the appropriate substitute teacher training.
