Elementary (Grades 1-3) Long-Term Substitute Teacher
The Winston School of Short Hills is seeking a dynamic, creative, and motivated Elementary School Teacher for a long‑term substitute position beginning February 1 through June 15, 2026. The Winston School of Short Hills is a co‑ed, 1st‑8th grade, independent school serving children with language‑based learning differences. Our students have the potential to meet academic success but have been largely unsuccessful due to challenges such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, low processing speed, central auditory processing disorder, and poor organizational and executive functioning skills. Our reading programs are Orton‑Gillingham‑based, and we believe in a multi‑modality approach to teaching in every discipline and grade level. Most of our students move on to mainstream public, independent, boarding, and parochial schools. Winston is fully accredited through the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and is a member of the NAIS.
