SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS

Looking to get your foot in the door in one of Vermont's most reputable school districts? The Essex Westford School District (EWSD), serving Essex Junction, Essex Town, and Westford is looking for substitute teachers to work on an "as needed" basis in all subject areas and grade levels. We are seeking folks who are effectively able to manage student behaviors and follow the lesson plans of the teacher; willing/able to be flexibly assigned/reassigned based on school needs; able to handle stress and resolve conflicts; able to maintain confidentiality of student incidences and records; and are reliable in their attendance at work.

Love of, and dedication to, the success of all students a must! Experience working with young adults or children required. Experience with Restorative Practices, PBIS, Responsive Classroom, Developmental Design or other social emotional learning program preferred. Industry certification (e.g. licensed Cosmetologists, licensed Dental Assistants, Registered Nurses) desirable for some positions.

Applicants without a teaching license must complete the Introductory Teacher Training program offered by Frontline Education. We will also pay substitutes for up to one day to "shadow" a teacher or paraeducator to learn how to better manage student behavior.

Short-term substitute teaching pay rate is $105.00/day.

If you are willing and available to work on short notice (e.g., the morning of the absence) to cover unanticipated absences, we highly encourage you to apply.

If you are looking to become a teacher or paraeducator, this is a great way for you to get your foot in the door and get some experience to help you achieve this goal. We have hired many of our substitutes as full-time teachers or paraeducators within the district based on our experiences with them as a substitute.

For consideration, please apply electronically through schoolspring.com to this posting. Selected candidates will be notified.
