The Archdiocese of St. Louis strives to teach and share our faith, serve others, and foster unity throughout the St. Louis area. Once a part of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary's campus, the Cardinal Rigali Center in Shrewsbury, MO is today the headquarters and curia (governing body) for the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
The Substitute Teacher provides instruction, supervision, and care for students in the absence of the regular classroom teacher. The Substitute Teacher follows lesson plans, maintains classroom routines and expectations, and provides a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment.
The Substitute Teacher may work across different grade levels and subject areas and is responsible for maintaining continuity of instruction while supporting the academic, social, emotional, and spiritual development of students.
