  I subbed for a pre-algebra 7th grade class and an algebra 8th grade class. The teacher had assignments for them to do and turn in. I knew my fair share of math, but some problems I did need help. Fortunately, the teacher did provide answers. Howev...

I was wondering if you could assist me with some information on how to actually go about becoming a sub in California. How long is the process, is it good money, is the credentail valid state wide or per district?

Any information would be helpful!

Thanks!!
