Substitute Teachers

The Pegasus School is seeking Substitute Teachers to join our team for the  school year. Substitute Teachers provide classroom coverage when regular faculty members are absent and play an important role in maintaining a positive, engaging, and consistent learning environment for our students.

Assignments are available on an as-needed basis throughout the school year. We are particularly interested in candidates who generally have availability at least one to two days per week.

Substitute Teachers are responsible for leading the classroom and supporting student learning in accordance with lesson plans, routines, and expectations established by the regular classroom teacher. Assignments may be available across elementary and middle school grade levels and subject areas.

Responsibilities may include delivering planned instruction, facilitating classroom activities and discussions, supporting individual students and small groups, managing classroom routines and behavior, and providing feedback to the regular teacher following the assignment.

Substitute Teachers are also responsible for the supervision and safety of students throughout the school day, which may include recess, lunch, passing periods, morning arrival, and afternoon dismissal.

Successful substitutes are dependable, flexible, confident classroom leaders who are able to quickly build rapport with students and adapt to different grade levels, subjects, and classroom environments.
