Apply Apply Description Job Summary:

The Substitute Teacher's job is to be available to substitute teach at least 4 days of each month school is in session (36 days each school year). Substitutes are called in advance, when possible. Often, however, illness occurs without notice so substitutes will be called the same day a substitute is needed. Substitutes rarely take over the classroom as a homeroom teacher (even when subbing for a homeroom teacher) but instead take on the roll of Class Instructor (or Teacher's Aide). Substitutes will teach a reading, math, and spelling group so they need to be trained in Direct Instruction programs. Substitutes are also responsible for supervision of lunch, recess, and transitions to and from Art, PE, and groups. During DIBELS Benchmark Assessments in grades K-6, this specialist will be a part of the DIBELS Assessment Team and assist Administration in assessing all of the K-6 students using the DIBELS benchmark assessments. DIBELS responsibilities occur three times each school year

• September, January, and May.

If called to substitute during DIBELS assessments, substitute responsibilities would take priority.
