How often could I expect to work?

It depends on your willingness to work in a variety of classroom settings and school buildings. If you are flexible with the types of assignments and number of schools you are willing to go to, you could work most days that the schools are in session. Substitute teachers are required to work at least five full days or the equivalent in order to be eligible to reactive for the next school year.
