As far as I know, all you need to be a substitute is proof of a bachelor's degree and a fingerprinting clearance. Some districts will request you attend an in-service. You do not need a license to be a substitute (unless NY has enacted some new laws?)
Most schools are happy just to find an adult who is willing to step in and cover a class in the event of a teacher absence. Many school districts don't have enough subs in their sub pool and other teachers have to give up their prep periods to cover other teacher's classes --- it stinks!
Being a sub is not the same as being a certified teacher. There are no certification or licensing requirements - as I said - you only need a bachelor's degree.
Contact the Commission on Teacher Credentialing in New Jersey. They will be able to tell you if your license is valid in their state, and if it isn't, they'll tell you what you need in order to get it.
The criteria to be a sub varies from state to state. In my state, (California), you must have a Bachelor's degree to be a sub. You also need to pass a test called the CBEST. A sub in my district is paid $140 a day. To be a teacher's aide, you need only be able to pass a basic skills test, and the rate of pay is $15 per hour.
It is not reciprocal, as NJ substitute licenses are done at the county level. That said, if you have 60 credits of college, the application process should be easy enough; just locate the county government wherever you move!
Certainly a sub is considered a teacher insofar that he or she is in control of a the classroom. To my knowledge, NJ doesn't have teacher assistants, but if you are referring to aides, then I'd say a good sub has more "clout" than an aide. If you are referring to an in-class support teacher, than a sub would generally have less clout than an ICS teacher--but there are strong subs with meek ICS teachers, of course!
I dont know but I assume that more states are like mine, VT, where a sub doesnt need a degree or anything and gets paid between $60-$75 a day. Do you have a degree and a real educators license.
