Substitute Teacher

Atrium School currently seeks substitute teachers who take the place of a teacher who is absent for personal, professional, or health reasons. Though long-term subbing situations may arise, the usual commitment is for full or partial days, one or two days at a time.

  • In PreK to Grade 5, this means assisting the co-teacher who leads the classroom.

  • In the Middle School, this includes interpreting and carrying out lesson plans for the day for a given class and creating reports to inform the students’ permanent teachers about the day.

Responsibilities include:

  • Following lesson plans provided by the regular teacher to create a cohesive and consistent learning experience for students

  • Managing the classroom effectively to encourage student participation and maintain a positive and creative learning environment

  • Supervising students in and out of the classroom, including in the halls, on the playground, and at lunch

Qualifications:

A strong candidate for the Substitute Teacher position will possess the following skills and qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher, preferably in education

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

  • Excellent interpersonal skills

  • Ability to lead and instruct students of all ages

  • Ability to adapt plans to specific classrooms

  • Flexibility and critical-thinking skills

We seek candidates who will add to the racial, cultural, and gender diversity of the school community, and who are committed to building and sustaining a community that is richly diverse and includes a wide range of family structures, racial, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds.
