We are looking for a full time in-house substitute teacher who can step into any classroom, from JK to Grade 11, and teach.

You might teach a single period, split a day between grades, cover a class for a day or a week, or fill in for a teacher on extended leave.

Our school serves students from JK to Grade 11 and follows the Ontario curriculum in English.

No French is required.

Students also learn the Algonquin language and culture and participate in land-based learning.

Small class sizes mean you'll build connections quickly and get to know students across all grades.

This role can also lead to a classroom of your own next school year.

Whether you're a new graduate looking to build your experience or an experienced teacher ready for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.





Long Point First Nation is a proud English-speaking Algonquin community in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec.

Build a quick-reference binder of IEP accommodations across classes to maintain consistent support for students with IEPs during any coverage.

During longer-term coverage, take on the planning and teaching responsibilities of the classroom teacher.

Bring in Algonquin culture and local context where there's a natural link.

Classroom Culture & Management Manage behavior aligned with each classroom's existing routines and expectations.

Report student safety or behavioral concerns directly to the principal.

Fulfill assigned supervision duties.

During longer-term coverage, assess student progress and give feedback to students and parents.

If coverage spans a reporting period, also complete report cards and conduct the parent-teacher interviews that follow.





School Community & Professional Duties When no class coverage is needed, build your emergency lesson bank and IEP binder, and support teachers and students as assigned.

Contribute to school events and extracurricular activities.

Participate in staff meetings and professional development.
