We are looking for a dedicated and adaptable Longterm Substitute Teacher to join our educational team and provide consistent, high-quality instruction during extended teacher absences. This role is essential in maintaining continuity of learning and supporting students' academic progress when their regular teacher is unavailable for an extended period, such as due to medical leave, maternity leave, or other long-term absences.
As a Longterm Substitute Teacher, you will be responsible for implementing lesson plans, managing classroom behavior, and maintaining a positive learning environment. In some cases, you may be required to develop lesson plans and assessments in alignment with the school’s curriculum. You will work closely with school administrators, fellow teachers, and support staff to ensure that students receive the instruction and support they need to succeed.
This position requires strong classroom management skills, flexibility, and the ability to quickly adapt to different grade levels and subject areas. The ideal candidate will have prior teaching experience, a valid teaching license or certification (depending on state or district requirements), and a passion for education.
Key duties include delivering instruction, assessing student progress, communicating with parents and guardians as needed, and participating in school meetings or professional development activities. You may also be responsible for grading assignments, maintaining student records, and supporting students with diverse learning needs.
This is an excellent opportunity for educators who enjoy variety in their teaching assignments and are committed to making a positive impact in students’ lives. Whether you are an experienced teacher seeking a flexible role or a newer educator looking to gain experience, this position offers a meaningful way to contribute to the school community.
