Summary:

Not on call. On staff. We are looking for a full-time in-house substitute teacher who can step into any classroom, from JK to Grade 11, and teach. You might teach a single period, split a day between grades, cover a class for a day or a week, or fill in for a teacher on extended leave.

Our school serves students from JK to Grade 11 and follows the Ontario curriculum in English. No French is required. Students also learn the Algonquin language and culture and participate in land-based learning.

Small class sizes mean you'll build connections quickly and get to know students across all grades. This role can also lead to a classroom of your own next school year. Whether you're a new graduate looking to build your experience or an experienced teacher ready for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

Long Point First Nation is a proud English-speaking Algonquin community in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. We are semi-remote, with year-round highway access, reliable internet, and cell service. Major amenities, full health services, and regional hospital facilities are accessible in New Liskeard, Ontario (1 hr 45 min drive).

Duties:

Core Teaching & Planning

Cover classes from JK to Grade 11 for single periods, full days, or extended leaves.
Teach from the plans left by classroom teachers, or from a bank of ready-to-go emergency coverage lessons you build in advance.
During longer-term coverage, take on the planning and teaching responsibilities of the classroom teacher.
Bring in Algonquin culture and local context where there's a natural link.
Work collaboratively with educational assistants supporting students with IEPs.
Build a quick-reference binder of IEP accommodations across classes to maintain consistent support for students with IEPs during any coverage.

Classroom Culture & Management

Manage behavior aligned with each classroom's existing routines and expectations.
Report student safety or behavioral concerns directly to the principal.
Fulfill assigned supervision duties.

Assessment & Parent Communication

Take attendance for every class covered, including single periods or half days.
Leave a concise recap note after each coverage tracking what was accomplished, student behavior, and follow-up items.
During longer-term coverage, assess student progress and give feedback to students and parents. If coverage spans a reporting period, also complete report cards and conduct the parent-teacher interviews that follow.

School Community & Professional Duties

When no class coverage is needed, build your emergency lesson bank and IEP binder, and support teachers and students as assigned.
Contribute to school events and extracurricular activities.
Participate in staff meetings and professional development.
