Job description

2026-2027 Long Term Substitute Teacher (Resource Specialist)

Join a dedicated team that fosters autonomy and creativity, while receiving a competitive salary, opportunities for career and personal growth, and the gratification that comes from creating positive multi-generational change.

Ednovate Background

Ednovate launched its first school in 2012. Since then, we’ve grown to eight schools and are on a trajectory to reach 11 schools in just the next few years (you can read more about our schools here ). Ednovate is committed to serving areas where students traditionally lack access to a quality college-prep education by building tuition-free, safe, high-performing public schools driven to create positive multi-generational change.

We are made up of world travelers, nacho connoisseurs, KPOP business owners, and Beyonce fans. We love LA and OC, and we're our students' biggest cheerleaders. We are looking to hire innovative changemakers who aim to continue our goal of becoming the high school experts across Southern California. Sound like you? Keep reading.

Uphold high expectations for student behavior and social-emotional growth.

Contribute positively to the team. Build positive relationships with your teammates. Lean into your vulnerability as a means of building trust. Actively engage in difficult conversations and debate to ensure the best ideas surface. Drive for clarity in decision making.
