Full-Time Substitute Teacher

Yu Ming Charter School seeks dynamic, innovative, and experienced educators to join our team, committed to nurturing lifelong learners who are bilingual, bicultural and able to create change in their own lives and in our community. We seek teachers that are excited by the possibility of transforming the traditional model of education to be learner-centered through personalized and project based learning that cultivates both the cognitive and social emotional skills our students need to thrive in school and beyond. Yu Ming teachers are leaders that thrive on exploration, collaboration, and seek to continuously learn and grow as individuals and team members.

Our Full-time Substitute Teacher would serve as Yu Ming's "in-house substitute" to support at our campuses when a teacher is out. When not serving as a substitute teacher, the Full-Time Substitute will report to campus to provide additional support for classroom teachers and supervision duty staff.
