Mount Tamalpais School (MTS), a K-8 independent school serving up to 260 students in Mill Valley, California, is looking for a full-time Substitute Teacher. These educators will partner with MTS teachers to provide a cohesive educational experience throughout the school year, as needed.
Our mission calls on us to create a “vigorous, creative and process-driven” program that “develops children who are well prepared for their future while remaining young at heart.” Substitute Teachers will be asked to do this as they teach academic classes, lead homeroom or advisory sessions, and supervise recess and lunch. MTS is also committed to a diverse and inclusive community. To that end, we are seeking a person to add to and enhance our work on diversity, equity and inclusion as well as cultural competency. An educator who wants to contribute to a growing and thriving organization will excel as a Substitute Teacher throughout the 2024-25 school year.
