Job Description

Zen Educate is a dynamic educational staffing company dedicated to partnering with public and charter schools across various school districts. Our mission centers on creating smart and timely matches by recruiting dedicated paraprofessionals and teaching assistants who support students with special education needs. Through our strategic partnerships, we help build stronger school communities that foster inclusive learning environments. By aligning qualified professionals with schools' needs, we empower educators to focus on delivering quality education while ensuring students receive the personalized support they deserve. As a company, Zen Educate prides itself on fostering a committed and adaptable workforce that contributes meaningfully to diverse classroom settings.

We are currently hiring substitute teachers for full-year assignments in inclusive and special education classrooms. These roles extend beyond typical temporary or summer positions, offering candidates the chance to gain invaluable classroom experience in a consistent school setting throughout the academic year. As a substitute teacher with Zen Educate, you will work within a single school building, rotating across multiple classrooms. This model allows you to build lasting relationships with students and school staff while developing your teaching skills in a real-world environment. Our substitute teaching positions offer a competitive pay range from $180 to $210 per day with weekly pay, and no weekend work is required, as the schedule follows typical school hours from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 or 4:30 p.m. This setup supports work-life balance and ensures dedicated time for your personal commitments.

Your role as a substitute teacher will be pivotal in maintaining classroom environments conducive to learning and safety. You will be responsible for following lesson plans developed by the regular teachers, which ensures continuity in students' education despite the absence of their usual instructor. By using varied teaching methods, you will enhance the learning experiences tailored to support individual student needs effectively. This job is especially suitable for those passionate about special education and inclusivity, who want to make a lasting impact on students’ academic journeys.

Joining Zen Educate means becoming part of an organization that values professional growth, community impact, and educational advancement. The opportunity offers practical classroom experience, which is ideal for educators looking to enrich their résumés and teaching portfolios. It is also a chance for individuals to demonstrate their flexibility, dedication, and ability to adapt in multiple classroom contexts, all while being supported by a network of educational professionals and recruiters committed to placing you in a role that fits your strengths and aspirations.
