QUINCY, ILL. -- It's not easy being a substitute teacher.

So to help some potential substitutes get ready for the challenges of the school year the Regional Office of Education hosted a substitute teacher workshop today.

The idea was to help the substitutes learn how to deal with problems like discipline, confidentiality and professionalism on the job.

As the economy continues to struggle more people are looking to substitute teaching as a job option.

Substitutes can make between 65 and 85 dollars a day.

According to Wilfed Flesner the Assistant Superintendant of the Regional Office of Education, there is only one main requirement to sub in the public school system.

He says, "Anybody who has a certificate. They must be credentialed with a substitute certificate or anybody who has a regular teaching certificate may be a sub within the school district."

There are different requirement to sub in the parochial schools.

Organizers say this kind of early perpetration is vital to making sure the substitutes succeed in the classroom.

A list of all the attendees were made available to school districts in both Adams and Pike Counties.
