Daily Special Education Substitute Teacher

The Manitowoc Public School District is seeking full time SPED substitute teachers for the 2026-2027 School Year! Our full time SPED subs must be flexible and willing to work in any grade level/subject area. This position is specifically created to support our SPED Department. Your assignments will be working specifically with Special Education students. They must thoroughly enjoy working with students and building relationships with students and staff of the MPSD. They will report to the school they are assigned to, but may be assigned a different building should the building assigned not have a need for a teacher sub. We are asking that our full time substitute teachers attend staff development days and work the days that school is in session (September - June). At a minimum the sub must hold a valid short-term substitute teaching license. The success of the Substitute teacher in carrying on the continuing educational process in the Manitowoc Public School District depends primarily upon the principal, the regular teacher, and above all, upon the individual Substitute teacher. When all cooperate to achieve and develop continuity, an effective school program for all students will be maintained.

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS include the following. Other duties may be assigned.

• Follow Absence Management (Frontline) procedures and instructions. Please check lesson plans and information as to how the substitute teacher should dress specifically for the day; i.e.: field trip, colors day, other special dress days, outdoor recess duty and so on.
