Educators at FCS nurture lifelong learners, courageous risk takers, and joyous peacemakers through the expression of our commitments to Quakerism, Progressive Education, equity, and inclusion. Our progressive pedagogical approach emphasizes depth over breadth, creativity and innovation over memorization, and hands-on collaborative projects over rote schoolwork. Our curriculum engages students in the exploration of values rooted in our Quaker Heritage – simplicity, peaceful conflict resolution, integrity, community, equality/equity, and stewardship – from a range of perspectives.
Job Summary
FCS is seeking Lower School (K-4th grade) and Middle School (5th-8th grade) substitute teachers for partial- and full-day assignments. The Substitute Teacher plays a vital role in maintaining classroom continuity in the absence of the regular teacher. They ensure that students remain engaged in their learning by delivering lesson plans, facilitating classroom activities, and managing student behavior. The Substitute Teacher needs to adapt quickly to different classroom environments and grade levels, often with little advance notice. Their ability to create a positive and productive learning atmosphere, while fostering respect and maintaining classroom norms, is crucial. Flexibility, strong communication skills, and the ability to connect with students are key attributes of a successful substitute teacher at FCS.
