District 30 is seeking a dedicated, flexible educator to serve as the Everyday Substitute Teacher at Willowbrook School. Unlike a day-to-day substitute, the Everyday Substitute reports to Willowbrook each student attendance day and is assigned wherever the need is greatest, providing continuity of instruction when classroom teachers are absent. This is a wonderful opportunity to become part of one school community: you will get to know our students, staff, and routines, and our students will benefit from a familiar, trusted adult in the classroom.

On days when no classroom coverage is needed, the Everyday Substitute supports students and staff as directed by the principal.
