Job Summary: In the absence of the lead teacher and/or assistant teacher, the substitute teacher is responsible for assisting with daily activities of the classroom under the supervision of the permanent teachers (if present). In the absence of permanent teachers in the classroom, the substitute teacher is responsible for meeting all safety and educational requirements necessary in meeting the needs of children and families.
Essential Job Functions:
1. Assist the permanent teachers in delivering a developmentally appropriate early childhood curriculum. For example, set up activities and materials, and provide appropriate interaction and guidance with children during the time of care.
2. In the absence of permanent teachers, act as lead teacher to assure the health, safety and educational needs of children and follow classroom policies and procedures. For example, assist children with tooth brushing, hand washing and toileting; move around the classroom to engage with children and provide supervision at all times; prepare meals and model good eating habits; and assure that any child’s specific medical and nutritional instructions are followed.
3. Assist in the planning and supervision of children’s activities that meet their emotional, cognitive, social and physical needs. For example, help children solve problems by getting down on their eye level, try to anticipate challenging behaviors before they occur, and assist the teachers in comforting and nurturing children.
4. Model appropriate behavior using positive guidance techniques at all times. For example, instead of saying “no” or “don’t do that” use redirection techniques such as “you need to…” or “I wonder what would happen if you…” or distract with another toy, activity or story.
5. Assist with the maintenance of a healthy and safe environment in all classroom activities. For example, assist with the clean-up of children’s activities and meals, assure that the room and outside playground are free from hazardous objects or materials, and provide consistent supervision to assure children remain in the group both inside and outdoors.
