Substitute Teacher; SY

Position: Substitute Teacher (25/26 SY, Ongoing Hiring)
Kingsley Montessori School is a toddler through sixth grade independent school of 300 students in Boston's historic Back Bay. Our mission is to engage the mind, hands, and heart of each child to nurture resilient explorers, confident learners, and empathetic citizens. We seek candidates who will reflect and broaden the racial, cultural, and gender diversity of our school community. Kingsley's high standards of professionalism are maintained through supportive and ongoing supervision and evaluation, development, and growth.

DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS:

The Substitute Teacher requires a candidate with an open-minded, flexible, and proactive attitude. Among other duties, the Substitute Teacher will assist faculty with classes, organize materials, oversee indoor and outdoor breaks, oversee study halls, and share lunch duties.
