Job Description

KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools is hiring full-time, salaried Floating Guest Educators to join our team. These educators play a vital role in our schools by stepping into classrooms with long-term vacancies or covering for teachers on PTO. Floating Guest Educators take on the responsibilities of a classroom teacher, including leading lessons, managing classroom expectations, and fostering a positive academic environment. They ensure smooth transitions by collaborating with the school team and executing high-quality lesson plans.

While certification is not required for this role, it is strongly encouraged that candidates are working towards becoming certified in the future. Floating Guest Educators who become certified may be eligible for promotion to lead teacher positions, subject to availability at their school.

Floating Guest Educators will initially be assigned to one campus, but flexibility is essential as they may be reassigned to another campus if the vacancy is filled by a certified teacher.
