What qualifications are necessary to be a substitute teacher?
To qualify for the emergency 30-Day substitute credential, you must have a bachelor’s degree and have passed CBEST. However, the Bakersfield City School District is offering applicants who currently have a bachelor’s degree, but who have not yet passed CBEST, the opportunity to pass the District MiniCBEST. Please contact Luci Segrest at (661)631-4861 for additional information. Also, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing has approved the addition of two (2) new types of emergency substitute permits. Please read through these new regulations for additional information.
