Substitute Teachers Needed

Substitute Teachers Needed

Teachers at Kenston Schools play a vital role in the daily success of their students. When a teacher is absent, we rely on substitute teachers to help keep the learning continuum going. We are currently looking for substitute teachers for all grade levels Kindergarten through 12th grade. We ask that you share this with anyone you know that might be interested in being a substitute teacher.

Kenston Schools works with the Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve to facilitate the substitute teacher process. If you are interested in becoming a substitute teacher at Kenston Local Schools or have any questions about the process, please contact the ESC of the Western Reserve at 440-350-2563 Ext. 0 or receptionist@escwr.org.

In addition to working with and helping our students reach their full potential, there are many benefits that come with substitute teaching. Being a substitute teacher offers competitive pay and the ability to choose the school where you want to work; choose when you want to work and no long term commitment is necessary.
