Edmonton Academy is seeking a qualified teacher for a temporary full-time substitute teaching assignment beginning as soon as possible. The position is anticipated to be approximately two months in duration. The length of the assignment may change depending on staffing needs. The successful candidate can expect consistent and regular work during the initial assignment period in ELA 30-2, ELA 20-2, and literacy support for jr. high students.

Edmonton Academy is an Alberta Education-designated special education independent school serving students in Grades 3–12 who have diagnosed Specific Learning Disorders in reading, writing, and/or mathematics. Our students work at grade level on the Alberta curriculum outcomes with the support of individualized accommodations such as speech-to-text, scaffolding, and instructional strategies designed to meet their specific learning needs. Our students are capable learners who often have experienced frustration or repeated difficulty in traditional school environments. Our goal is to change that experience by providing a structured, supportive environment where students can understand how they learn, build confidence, and develop the skills and independence needed for long-term success.

Our classrooms are intentionally designed around small instructional groups, explicit and systematic instruction, individualized support, and evidence-based strategies.



Teachers use the Alberta Education curriculum while adapting instructional approaches to each student's learning profile.

This position is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who enjoys working closely with students and values individualized, relationship-based instruction.

- Plan and deliver explicit, structured, and systematic instruction appropriate to students' individual learning profiles.
- Differentiate instruction, learning activities, and supports while maintaining appropriate curriculum expectations.
- Use multimodal and evidence-based instructional strategies to help students access and demonstrate their learning.
- Implement student-specific accommodations and instructional strategies identified through student programming and school documentation.




- Build positive relationships with students and create a classroom environment that is structured, predictable, respectful, and supportive.
- Monitor student understanding and progress and adjust instruction accordingly.
- Provide students with frequent opportunities for response, feedback, practice, and reflection.
- Collaborate with classroom teachers, educational assistants, administration, and other members of the school team to support student success.
- Maintain appropriate assessment, planning, and student documentation.
