Substitute Teacher

Substitute Teacher

The Archdiocese of St. Louis Catholic Education and Formation features an expansive coalition of schools that allow our children to develop a sense of purpose and value, receive a higher quality education, join a welcoming community and feel secure in a dynamic future. A coalition of schools serving over 50,000 students (PreK-12) within an 11-county area. The educational experience provided to our students and their families is rooted in a higher calling from God to honor and celebrate the gifts He has given us.

The Substitute Teacher provides classroom instruction in the absence of the regular teacher while supporting the mission, values, and educational philosophy of the Catholic school. The substitute teacher maintains a positive learning environment, follows lesson plans, promotes student engagement, and models Christian values and respect for all members of the school community.

• Uphold school policies, procedures, and confidentiality standards.
• Serve as a positive role model by demonstrating professionalism, integrity, and Christian values.

We are a unique community—diverse in our talent, but unified in our drive to create together, face challenges together and grow together. Our values push us to empower, propel and inspire new ways of turning possibilities into realities. Our competencies define the behaviors that guide who we are, how we are inspired and how we inspire others to succeed.

Work/life balance is so important to the archdiocese. After all, our business is about making life easier and better—and we want that for you and your career just as much as our consumers and their day-to-day lives. That's why we offer flexible working times, remote working options, generous paid vacation increasing with service, and personal leaves of absence. As well as being able to make the most of life at home, you'll also be able to contribute to the Archdiocese sponsored volunteer events.
