Substitute teaching
By New 5th Grade teacher

I wouldn't be overly concerned. In some districts there is such a shortage of subs that anyone who is breathing gets hired. In my district, for example, there have been times when people with only a high school diploma
have ended up subbing. My niece and several of my daughter's college-age friends have done per-diem subbing with only one year of college under their belts.
As Cathy-Dee said, it might be somewhat different if you had outright lied or misrepresented you status. There probably might also be a problem if you had applied for a permanent long-term sub position, but on a per-diem basis,

there shouldn't be any reason to worry. After all, you have completed your certification requirements even if you don't have the certificate in hand and your college degree was never in question.
