Rossman School is searching for an experienced educator to serve as a Permanent
Substitute & Extended Day Supervisor for the 2025-2026 academic year. As a full-time
member of the faculty, the Permanent Substitute assumes instructional responsibilities
for both short- and long-term faculty absences.

By building strong relationships with colleagues and students, the Permanent Substitute
provides a seamless transition during any teacher’s absence. On days that the school
does not need a substitute teacher, the Permanent Substitute assists in classrooms to
support student learning. Responsibilities may include working with small groups of
students, co-teaching a lesson, assessing student work, or preparing materials for a
future lesson.

The Permanent Substitute also helps supervise the school’s Extended Day program.
Because of these combined responsibilities, the Permanent Substitute is expected to
remain at school until 4:15 p.m. on a daily basis.

The ideal candidate for this position will have a bachelor’s degree in education, a
minimum of two years experience teaching in an elementary school, and strong
organizational and communication skills, allowing him/her to balance multiple roles.

This individual will demonstrate a dedication to honesty, kindness, respect, and
responsibility—the pillars of Rossman’s character program—in his/her interactions with
children and adults.
