Can hours you do as a sub teacher count towards your hours for teacher training

Question

Can hours you do as a sub teacher count towards your hours for teacher training

Answer 1

Substitute teaching can not replace student teaching.  Generally, the point of student teaching is for you to be observed and evaluated by a licensed teacher.  When you sub, you don't get that supervision and evaluation.  Student teaching is also a for-credit experience.  I don't think that any college would set it up so you could get credit for being a substitute.

Answer 2

You'll have to ask your credential advisor. Generally speaking, the answer is no, but sometimes if you get a long term sub position they'll count that as student teaching. Each district is different.  

Answer 3

Not in VA. On teacher's applications, it specifically says DO NOT INCLUDE SUBSTITUTE TEACHING! Student  teaching and practicum does count towards teacher training. I have heard stories where someone did so well in student  teaching that she was hired as a long term sub for the school before the semester was over, though.

Answer 4

No, but it does give you some experience in the classroom.

Answer 5

Nope
