The Substitute Teacher will be expected to:

• Report to the building principal and/or team leader/department head and school secretary upon arrival at the school building.

• Complete form provided in the substitute packet to report on the day’s activities at the conclusion of each teaching day.
• Follow all policies, rules, and procedures that regular teachers are expected to follow and to which good teaching practice dictates.
• Seek wise counsel: when faced with vexing dilemmas, you know who to turn to for advice; you're unafraid to seek help, expertise and multiple viewpoints; you know what you don't know
• Ethical practice: you are guided by the rightness or wrongness of actions; you have a strong moral compass; you believe that ethical behaviors maximize productivity and effectiveness and that ethical shortcuts only hurt long-term goals
• Student-centered: you keep student's needs central to every action you take and decision you make; you never lose sight of students' needs as the district's focal point and North Star
• Active listener: you're a strong, active listener; you can read body language and between the lines to pick up both on what's being said and what's not being said; you can identify the nuance of what's being suggested, however obliquely, and articulate it strategically for others
• Role model: you lead by example and a strong moral code about how to do right by students and staff; students and staff admire your integrity, follow your example and learn from your approach and decision-making (which you make transparent)
• Embrace diversity: you value a diversity of perspectives, styles and beliefs; you understand the difference between tolerance and inclusion
• Knowing what's right: you keep the big picture in mind rather than over-valuing detail or process that threatens big picture goals, mission, or vision; when faced with a dilemma you can combine strong instincts with respect for institutional process to do the right thing
