State Fair Community College will offer a 12-week, hybrid format, Foundations of Education in a Diverse Society (EDUC 209) starting Feb. 1 for individuals seeking a substitute teacher certification from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MODESE).  

The three-credit hour course will meet Mondays and Wednesdays 10 to 10:50 a.m. on the Sedalia campus in addition to online class work. In-district tuition is $121 per credit hour; tuition for Missouri residents is $183 per credit hour.

Successful completion of English Composition I (ENGL 101) is a prerequisite to enroll in EDUC 209. Individuals who have not completed ENGL 101 may take the College-Level Exam Program test (CLEP) for a fee to determine readiness for college-level courses. The CLEP test is offered in SFCC’s Testing Center on the Sedalia campus.

SFCC students are welcome to take the course if they want to become a substitute teacher regardless of their area of study. Those who have not applied for admission to SFCC will need to complete the free application at www.sfccmo.edu/apply. Applicants may choose to take the course for personal interest by checking the appropriate box on the application.
