Wheeler Lower School and Hamilton School Day Substitute Teacher
2025-26 Academic Year
The Wheeler School, a co-ed, N-12 independent day school with city and farm campuses serving approximately 800 students in the Greater Providence and Greater Boston areas, is seeking a substitute teacher to join ourWheeler Lower School and Hamilton School community to provide both full and half day coverage on an as-needed basis.
Ideal candidates for faculty and staff positions at Wheeler are people with a sense of humor, warmth, and humility. They are excellent communicators, with empathy for others and an ability to listen and respond with good intuition and with the help of colleagues. They are ambitious and hard-working, committed to supporting students by offering help and creating new opportunities. When developing curriculum and programming, our faculty and staff members are curious, striving each year to stretch and grow, to implement new ideas that improve the Wheeler experience. In the end, they love to spend their days with young people and enjoy all that the Wheeler community - creative, energetic, dynamic, and diverse - has to offer.
Wheeler Lower School (K-5th Grade) offers a creative, joyful, learning experience for students. Our signature Aerie Approach enables every student to discover, explore, and develop personal interests and academic passions that go beyond the curriculum. The Hamilton School at Wheeler (1st-8th Grade) is a school-within-a-school where skilled faculty meet students’ learning differences with the individualized instruction that leads to success. Since 1988, the Hamilton School at Wheeler has served elementary and middle school children who have great overall cognitive ability, but who struggle with reading, organization and study skills due to dyslexia, attention-deficit disorder (ADHD), executive function deficits, or other learning differences. We believe — and prove daily — that our students can learn these important skills and meet the highest expectations.
The substitute teacher’s primary responsibilities will include:
Implement lesson plans provided by the teacher who is absent
Effectively manage the students in the classes that are being covered
Provide supervision for occasional duties (e.g. recess and lunch)
Qualifications:
A minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree is required.
Availability to work 7:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Be reachable by phone until 8:00 p.m the night prior and by 6:30 a.m. the morning of when coverage is needed.
Prior experience working with children of different ages.
The ideal candidate possesses the flexibility to operate independently and collaboratively, has an engaging personality, and demonstrates motivation and interest in working with elementary-aged and Middle School students. We encourage experienced teachers, teachers in training, and candidates who have previous experience working with children to apply.
Statement on Diversity and Cultural Competency At Wheeler
We actively seek students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds in the belief that a broad range of experiences and viewpoints enhance learning, enriches life on campus, and better prepares us all for full participation in a pluralistic, democratic society.
