The ODC Early Childhood Network operates nature-based preschools and childcare facilities in Allegan and Ottawa County. ODC Early Childhood Network provides early childhood learning opportunities for children aged birth-5, building social, emotional, and academic skills within a unique natural environment with an emphasis on nature-based inquiry and outdoor exploration.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Purpose:</span></span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> The Substitute Teacher will fill vacancies in the classroom by working with the classroom teachers to provide a high-quality, developmentally appropriate nature-based preschool experience for children ages birth-5 and by working actively with ODC Network staff to ensure children have a strong connection to nature.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">ODC Network is searching for substitute teachers who can help in one or two different capacities. Substitute Teachers can choose to be on-call and contacted on an as-needed basis for teacher coverage. They can also choose to work a longer-term stint in one classroom filling in for a teacher on leave. The longer-term opportunities could potentially be full or part-time, depending on availability and interest.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">ODC Network Diversity Policy Statement:</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">ODC Network is an equal-opportunity employer. </span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yc5HbkUwQcfkJ43S1Ma6g_6WPNPYSKoO6dZIYrutLVk/edit?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Click here</span></a><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> to read our diversity statement.</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Primary Responsibilities:</span></span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> </span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Work with a teaching team for assigned classes.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Participate in and help lead activities including but not limited to: interacting with students in nature and in the classroom setting, engaging students in learning activities, preparing snacks (and meals for full-day classes), supervising nap time, and maintaining a safe learning environment.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Change the diapers/pull-ups of children and manage potty training needs.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Assist Lead Teacher with organization of outdoor and indoor classrooms and learning resources.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Actively participate in large group activities, nature hikes, and explorations.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Dress appropriately and be prepared to spend each day outside, actively engaging in play/exploration in all weather. </span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Other duties as assigned by Site Director.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Professional Responsibilities:</span></span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> Maintain educational and training requirements for childcare</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">licensing and quality program assessments.
