Is it possible to teach in Illinois without being certified if I have a Bachelors degree?

I’ve heard that some states that have teacher shortages allow you to teach as long as you have a bachelors degree in anything. Does illinois have any programs like this? Also, what other states do?

I don’t believe you can teach in IL without a certificate. It used to be that you had to have a teaching degree to even sub in the state but they couldn’t find enough subs so that law went to the wayside. You can however teach private school without a certificate. I would check out www.isbe.net for more information.

    I don’t believe Illinois is one of these states. You can however, substitute teach with just a bachelors degree. I had a friend that didn’t have a teaching certificate that taught in IL at a catholic school. I have friends in TX and AZ that both teach and neither has a certificate.
