About The Position

Substitute Teachers provide emergency support for classrooms, fill long-term absences, and/or help cover a class during a transition period. French-speaking substitutes help to maintain the French immersion environment by delivering instruction and interacting with students in the French language. Substitutes work on a part-time, on-call basis and may be called to fill-in the morning of the school day. Teachers or administrators will typically contact the substitute directly for an assignment, which the substitute may accept or decline. Substitute Teachers track attendance, administer quizzes and tests, explain assignments, collect homework and provide general supervision during class periods. Substitute Teachers work with students individually or as a group to keep up with the regular curriculum. They read lesson plans and teach them to the students, providing guided instruction on their subject. This is an on-call as needed position with Académie Lafayette.
