According to Northern Illlinois University FAQ page you may possibly teach legally in the state of Illinois in a non-public and/or charter teach. Also you may possibly become a substitute in some cases without a certificate. For more information go to the website listed below…….

Maybe. I live in Illinois and I know many a instructor that was at charter and private schools. They are cracking down on that hardcore. If you do get a position, then it will probably be if you are teaching with some sort of temporary certificate while being enrolled in some sort of alternative certification program. I know in Chicago Public Schools now you can’t even substitute without a teaching certificate.
You will have to try out on the junior colleges though…I reckon that all you need for those are masters in a specific content area.
Excellent Luck!
