Join the Master Teaching Fellows Program – Earn Your Master’s While Teaching!
Highline Public Schools is seeking 10 passionate educators to join the Master Teaching Fellows Program for the 2025–2027 cohort. This is more than a substitute position... it's a transformative pathway to becoming a certified teacher with a Master’s degree
, all while earning a paycheck.
THIS JOB WILL CLOSE FOR APPLICATION REVIEW ON JANUARY 12, 2026 11:59PM PST.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Earn your Master in Teaching degree while gaining real classroom experience through a 17‑month program in partnership with Western Washington University.
- Get paid as a Guest Teacher during your residency— no need to take unpaid time off for student teaching.
- Significant tuition assistance and financial supports (most participants pay little to nothing out of pocket thanks to grant support).
- Hands‑on mentorship and professional learning in a supportive cohort model.
- High job placement potential upon program completion.
Position Summary:
This program follows a residency model where candidates work in the district as Annual Substitute Teachers while completing internship experiences with a mentor teacher, and participating in a 6‑quarter Master in Teaching Program with a Multilingual Education emphasis. As a Guest Teacher, you’ll provide continuity of learning in the absence of a regular classroom teacher, delivering lessons prepared by the teacher or alternative instruction when needed.
You’ll maintain a positive, productive classroom environment that supports student success.
- 0.85 FTE leave replacement contract (135 workdays scheduled in advance).
- Paid at the annual substitute rate; contractual rate applies after 20 consecutive days in the same assignment.
- Flexible scheduling options and opportunities for professional learning.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis... don’t wait!
