About The Position

Canton City School District is hiring four Floating Elementary Core Substitute Teachers. The role requires extreme flexibility: substitutes may be deployed to a different building and/or grade band each day according to district needs. A substitute reports to their home building only when not needed elsewhere, and home buildings may change based on district needs. The Sub Manager will notify substitutes by email when they are assigned to another location or school building (PreK–12). After receiving an assignment, the substitute reports to the main office for instructions and materials and signs out with the secretary or main office when the assignment is complete. Otherwise, the substitute reports to the assigned home building at the designated start time and receives the daily assignment from the building principal or secretary. The substitute implements lesson plans or work schedules provided by the classroom teacher or employee, maintains a classroom environment conducive to learning, and supports student participation and safety. Duties may include those of absent teachers, such as lunchroom duty, hall monitoring, and bus detail when applicable. The position also involves maintaining classroom discipline, supervising students, protecting students and school property, promptly reporting incidents, collecting assignments, and providing teachers with a report of completed and incomplete lessons and other relevant information. Substitutes must follow building procedures and district policies and maintain professional, dependable work habits.
