About UP Education Network
UP Education Network operates six schools in Boston, Lawrence, and Springfield, MA. We serve over 3,000 elementary and middle school students. UP is invited by local school districts to restart chronically underperforming district schools as UP Academies. Each UP Academy shares the same mission: to ensure that students acquire the knowledge, skills, and strength of character necessary to succeed on the path to college and to achieve their full potential.
Role
The Zone Cluster Substitute will work closely with core content teachers to plan and execute academic interventions for small groups of students. This role is the equivalent of the role and responsibilities of a Zone Cluster Substitute in Springfield Public Schools.
Desired Skills and Characteristics of an UP Teacher
• A deep desire to work with educationally underserved studentpopulations and their families
• An unwavering commitment to the academic success and personal development of our students

• A capacity to remain calm and focused when faced with unexpected challenges
Qualifications
• A strong belief in UP Education Network's core values: Students, Community, Humility, Resilience, and Humor
• Bachelor's degree is required
• Current authorization to work in the United States - A candidate must have such authorization by his or her first day of employment
Compensation and Benefits
UP Academy follows the salary scales and salary placement policies of each UP Academy's host school district or state turnaround plan; please see the relevant union's collective bargaining agreement for additional details. As an employee of UP Academy and your respective school district, you will receive the same access to personal and sick days, health insurance, and dental insurance as others within your union.

Talented, mission-driven colleagues: Our staff is enthusiastic, dedicated, and willing to do "whatever it takes" to put every student on the path to college
Collaboration and teamwork: Staff members collaborate and work closely together on grade-level or content area teams, using data to track student performance as well as guide instructional practice
Consistent professional growth and development: Members of our staff typically have bi-weekly check-in meetings with their managers where they receive targeted coaching and support. The entire staff participates in weekly professional development sessions during the school year, kick-started by extensive training in August.
