Building Substitute Teacher - One Year

Milton Hershey School (MHS) is currently seeking ONE YEAR - Full-time School Building Substitute Teachers to assist throughout the 20/21 school year.  

Building Substitutes are assigned to classrooms in which teachers are absent or otherwise need coverage. Building Substitutes cover classrooms in all grades and subject areas, oftentimes covering multiple classes in the same day; and may assist with a variety of other responsibilities throughout the School. Building Substitutes may also act in co-teaching assignments or supplementary classroom support roles.   

Building Substitutes ensure that a high quality education is maintained during their time with the students. They maintain continued academic rigor despite the change of personnel. In most cases, lesson plans are provided by the teacher of that classroom. In longer term assignments the Building Substitute will develop lesson plans and assessments to ensure students’ instruction remains consistent. Lessons are to be based upon PA Common Core Standards while creating an engaging classroom with meaningful, rigorous and developmentally appropriate instruction. Assessments are to be formative and summative and lend themselves to differentiated instruction, as well as accommodate individual student and whole group needs.  

All MHS teachers collaborate with fellow faculty and other MHS staff to ensure a whole child approach is taken to student development. MHS teachers are responsible for supporting School initiatives such as social & emotional learning and health & wellness. All MHS teachers are also required to schedule and complete an additional duty to their teaching schedules. 

MHS provides a home and education for 2,100 Pre-K through 12th grade students from lower-income. The School strives to provide small class sizes (average of 1/15 - 18) to ensure students have the attention and instructional support to excel academically and in life. MHS teachers are in a unique role to teach, mentor, motivate and inspired students to leverage the opportunities available to them so they reach their full potential.
