Permanent Substitute Teacher

PERMANENT SUBSTITUTE TEACHER

Eagle Hill is an Independent School located in Greenwich, Connecticut for students with language-based learning differences.  We offer children who learn differently the opportunity to transform into confident and resilient students empowered with strategies to meet challenges and flourish beyond Eagle Hill.

Eagle Hill Core Values

Belonging:  Eagle Hill embraces students with an array of learning profiles with acceptance and understanding. 

Resilience:  Eagle Hill teaches students how to meet challenges with grit.  

Self Confidence:  Eagle Hill allows students to view themselves in a context larger than their learning difference.  

Whole Child Approach:  Eagle Hill believes the most impactful learning takes place when students are taught holistically, with cognitive development taking place in tandem with social-emotional growth.  

The Permanent Substitute Role at Eagle Hill

Eagle Hill’s Permanent Substitutes are members of our faculty and are essential to the success of our students. They play an integral role in all facets of the program by helping to provide high-quality instruction that meets the needs of each child. This is a full-time position, Monday-Friday from 7:55 am-3:20 pm., and Permanent Substitutes are entitled to our comprehensive benefits package. 

The Permanent Substitute will:

• implement daily lessons as planned by the classroom teacher.
• participate in staff development provided by the school;
• perform assigned duties, including varied recess and daily duties.
• complete all assigned documentation and respond to requests for information either digitally or in hard copy format.
• proctor non-academic classes (e.g., study hall, homeroom).
• be assigned to specific classes to serve as a classroom assistant when not substituting. 

Eagle Hill School’s mission, philosophy, and culture are grounded in a belief in the worth of every individual and the importance of treating all with respect and support. The Permanent Substitute is expected to embrace this collaborative viewpoint through daily interaction with all members of the Eagle Hill Community.

It is required that candidates will have at least a Bachelor’s Degree prior to their start date and will continue their education in a related instructional area (i.e., special education, literacy).
