Our Chicago campus is currently seeking on-call substitute teachers who are passionate, adaptable, and eager to contribute to a nurturing educational environment that celebrates neurodiversity.

    • Uphold school policies and routines while building positive rapport with students and staff.

    • Provide meaningful feedback to the classroom teacher about the day's activities and student progress.

    • Collaborate with supportive faculty and staff who are passionate about student growth.

    • Step in where needed, including light clerical or supervisory tasks.

    • Report to the school principal or their designee at the beginning and end of each day.

    What We're Looking For

    • Education: Bachelor's degree required.

    • Experience: At least 2 years working in a school setting.

    • Prior experience working with students with learning disabilities or diverse learning profiles is strongly preferred.

    • A calm, compassionate presence and the ability to adapt quickly to new classroom settings.

    • Strong communication and classroom management skills.

    • A commitment to fostering belonging and respect in every classroom.

    Why Join Us?
