Job description

We are seeking compassionate, culturally responsive Substitute Teachers to support our Adult English Language Learner (ELL) classes serving immigrant and refugee communities. As a substitute, you will provide instruction based on prepared lesson plans or adapt materials as needed to maintain a supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. Your role is essential in helping adult learners develop practical English language skills for everyday life, work, and community integration.

This is an on-call substitute position. Days and times vary based on program needs. Classes may be scheduled in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings, either in-person or virtually (if applicable).

What You'll Do

  • Deliver English language instruction to adult learners at varying proficiency levels (Pre-literacy to Advanced), using provided lesson plans or approved curriculum materials.
  • Foster a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive classroom environment that reflects the diverse cultural backgrounds of students.
  • Support learners in developing skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing English for real-life contexts such as employment, healthcare, transportation, and civic engagement.
  • Manage classroom dynamics effectively, ensuring student participation and engagement.
  • Communicate with program staff regarding student progress, classroom needs, and any concerns that arise during your teaching assignment.
  • Maintain accurate attendance records and follow program procedures.

What You'll Need

  • Cultural sensitivity and an understanding of the immigrant and refugee experience.
  • Strong communication skills and classroom management abilities.
  • Ability to adapt instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners with varying English proficiency levels.
  • High school diploma or equivalent (some positions may require a bachelor's degree or TESOL certification).

Preferred:

  • Bachelor's degree in Education, TESOL, Linguistics, or related field.
  • Experience teaching or tutoring ELL/ESL students, preferably in adult education settings.
  • TESOL/TEFL certification or adult education credential.
  • Bilingual or multilingual skills.
  • Prior experience working with refugee or immigrant populations.
