Substitute Special Ed Teacher; Casual) Edmonton, AB

Not every student learns the same way. We don’t believe they should have to.

E2 Academy is a Designated Special Education Independent School serving twice-exceptional (2E) learners. Our students have exceptional strengths alongside disabilities, learning differences, and diverse support needs.

We take a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and relationship-based approach to education, prioritizing connection, flexibility, and individualized support.

We’re looking for a compassionate, adaptable, and enthusiastic Alberta-certified substitute teacher to join our team.

This casual position offers a combination of prearranged and on-call assignments, with the potential for frequent work. Our small classrooms and collaborative staff provide a supportive environment where educators can build meaningful relationships and make a difference.

• Deliver classroom instruction using plans provided by the regular teacher.
• Adapt teaching approaches to meet individual student strengths, needs, and abilities.
• Build positive, respectful relationships with students.
• Support students experiencing emotional, sensory, or behavioural dysregulation using calm, compassionate, and proactive approaches.
• Collaborate with classroom staff and student support professionals.
• Follow individualized student support plans and school safety procedures.

• Valid Alberta teaching certificate.
• Ability to work effectively with neurodivergent students.
• Patience, flexibility, creativity, and strong communication skills.
• A calm, compassionate approach to supporting student regulation and behaviour.
• Willingness to embrace neuroaffirming, trauma-informed educational practices.

• Experience working with autistic students, students with ADHD, or twice-exceptional learners.
• Experience in specialized education or inclusive classroom environments.
• Familiarity with Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) or other relationship-based approaches.

• $250 per day.
• Flexible scheduling with the potential for frequent assignments.
• Small class sizes and a collaborative, supportive staff team.
