Substitute, Middle or Upper School Teacher

Substitute Teachers play a vital role in supporting student learning and maintaining continuity in the classroom during a teacher’s absence. Under the direction of school leadership, the Substitute Teacher provides instruction to large and small groups, either by implementing lesson plans prepared by the classroom teacher or by developing appropriate plans as needed.
