• NYSED Fingerprint Clearance (required)

Immediate Openings |  School Year and  School Year

Western New York Maritime Charter School is a military-style public charter school built on structure, accountability, and leadership
. Our classrooms operate with clear systems, consistent expectations, and strong adult presence.

A substitute at Maritime is not a placeholder. You are expected to take control of the classroom and maintain the standard from the moment students enter
.

We are not looking for passive supervision.

• Can walk into any classroom and establish control immediately
• Follow and enforce school expectations without hesitation
• Maintain order, focus, and productivity for the full period
• Are comfortable addressing behavior in real time
• Do not rely on students to "self-manage"
• Thrive in a structured, high-accountability environment

If you prefer a relaxed environment or are uncomfortable correcting behavior, this is not the right fit.

• Execute the teacher's lesson plan as written, without deviation
• Establish expectations at the start of class and hold them consistently
• Maintain a classroom where:
  • Students are seated, on task, and working
  • Disruptions are addressed immediately
  • Time is used productively
• Follow all school wide systems, including:
  • Attendance procedures
  • Classroom routines
  • Behavior expectations
• Document student behavior and leave clear, accurate notes for the teacher and administration
• Seek support when necessary, but do not allow the classroom to lose structure

• You arrive on time and prepared
• You enforce expectations consistently across all students
• You do not ignore low-level disruption
• You maintain professionalism at all times
• You follow all school protocols and procedures

• The classroom runs smoothly and predictably, even in the teacher's absence
• Students remain engaged and complete assigned work
• There is no drop-off in expectations or behavior
• The teacher can return without needing to "reset" the classroom

• Composed under pressure; responds with solutions, not excuses
• Direct and confident communicator
• Consistent and fair
• Strong presence in the classroom
• Detail-oriented and reliable

• NYSED Fingerprint Clearance (required)
• Teaching certification preferred, but not required
• Experience working with students in a structured setting strongly preferred

• Clear expectations and strong administrative support
• Structured environment where substitutes can be successful
• Opportunity to make an immediate impact on students
• Potential pathway to full-time opportunities for high performers
