Full-Time Roving Substitute Teacher (K-8)

Job Description / Essential Elements

Yavneh Hebrew Academy, a private Jewish K–8 school in Los Angeles, CA seeks a full-time Roving Substitute Teacher for the 2026–27 school year. This is a salaried, on-campus position: you report every school day and cover classes across Kindergarten through 8th grade wherever you are needed.

On a given day you might lead a 1st-grade reading block, a 6th-grade science lab and a middle school math class. You become a familiar face to students and faculty, which keeps learning on track when a teacher is out. On days with no absences, you support classrooms, small groups and campus duties.

This role suits a flexible, warm educator who enjoys variety and wants to grow within our community.

Responsibilities

1. Cover K–8 classes as assigned each morning, including homerooms, core subjects and specials such as PE, art, music, STEAM and media lab.
2. Deliver the classroom teacher's lesson plans faithfully, keep students engaged and leave clear notes on what was covered, student work and any concerns.
3. Maintain a calm, respectful classroom using the school's behavior expectations and community values.
4. Take attendance and follow all safety, health and emergency procedures.
5. Supervise students during arrival, dismissal, lunch, recess, transitions, and assemblies.
6. Support small groups, co-teach or assist classrooms on days without a coverage assignment.
7. Communicate promptly with teachers, administration and the front office about schedule changes or student needs.
8. Take part in faculty meetings, professional development and school events as appropriate.
9. Keep student information confidential.

Qualifications

Required

1. Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university
2. Experience working with children in a school, camp, tutoring or similar setting
3. Comfort teaching students of all ages, from kindergartners to 8th graders
4. Strong classroom management and clear communication
5. Flexibility to change assignments, sometimes with little notice
6. Reliable, punctual attendance
7. Successful background check and fingerprint clearance
8. Ability to stand, walk and move around campus throughout the day

Preferred

1. Teaching credential or progress toward one
2. Classroom teaching or substitute experience in elementary or middle school
3. Training in early childhood, literacy, math or special education
4. CPR and first aid certification
