The Learning Project Elementary School

Building Substitute Teacher: Full Time, Permanent Position

The Learning Project is a uniquely small elementary school centrally located in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. We believe in nurturing students’ academic and personal growth, encouraging the joy and creativity within each child, and taking advantage of all that our city setting has to offer. 

For over fifty years, the core of the school’s mission has remained: to enroll a diverse group of students, provide them with exciting and age-appropriate learning opportunities, to help children develop strength of character, and to build a sense of connection through yearly traditions, cross-age opportunities, and meaningful whole school activities. The Learning Project’s community remains its biggest strength, and core to that community is its dedicated faculty and staff who are committed to the school’s mission, its families, to supporting one another, and to their own personal and professional development.

The school seeks a dynamic educator to serve as the school’s Building Substitute Teacher on a daily basis. The Building Substitute leads classes in a faculty member’s absence, and also assists in classes or with administrative tasks when all faculty members are present.

Experience teaching and working with elementary age children is a must. Also important are outstanding oral and written communications skills, strong interpersonal skills, a command of the value-added use of classroom technology and a commitment to the values and principles of this school, as described in our Mission Statement.

The Learning Project offers highly competitive faculty salaries and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance plans. This position also includes a monthly MBTA LinkPass for commuting.
