Pros

*one is able to work as much or as little as desired (with only small qualifications) *one can select jobs as a paraprofessional to decide if the school or district is a good fit before taking on a teaching position. *opportunities for employee benefits

Cons

*Special Education classes are not always clearly defined when job is posted, i.e. you may think you are signing up as a classroom aide, but in reality, you are a 1 on 1 aide for someone you may not feel comfortable assisting. (e.g. physical help, toileting...)

Pros

It's better than no job at all.

Cons

Sadly, they take almost half of what you would make as a substitute teacher in a district; you get no pay if you're out sick or for holidays or Summer vacations; CERTIFIED, experienced teachers get paid SAME money as subs that have NO experience or Cert.

Pros

Substitute jobs are plentiful and easy to come by. School districts will even contact Source4Teachers to fill long-term substitute roles. I was hired to teach summer school at a local high school because the district contacted Source4Teachers to find someone. It is a good way to get your foot in the door if you are starting out as a teacher.

Cons

I did not have any issues during my employment here.
