Job Description

Teachers will not be expected to do any preparation, and their only responsibilities are to teach the class by following the provided lesson plan and tidying up the classroom at the end of the day.  We require that the cover teacher arrives at the school 30 minutes before the class starts to ensure they are ready to teach the class.

This position has the potential to transition to a full-time for the right candidate.
