Long-Term English Substitute Teacher

Job Summary:

From approximately September 22, 2025 through October 17, 2025 (first semester), teach the following sections of English: College Prep English I (freshman) and ENGL 2020: Texts, Social Systems, and Values (juniors and seniors). Additionally, provide English coverage in our academic help center, ALPHA, and be available to supervise the co-curriculars as needed. ALPHA and co-curriculars require no prepping, grading, or outside work. The other courses would require some prepping and grading, with support and plans from the teacher and the English Department; there would be a lot of collaboration and support for the substitute.

• The class periods are 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th (ALPHA).

A strong candidate for this position would have experience teaching analytical writing and would emphasize critical thinking as the foundation for writing. The English Department is highly collaborative, especially in the freshman and sophomore levels, where teachers are aligned in course pacing, sequence of units, common final exams, common topic options for writing assignments and common oral presentation rubrics. Across all courses/grade levels, grading practices are discussed to ensure department faculty members evaluate student writing within a similar framework, with similar expectations.
