  • Earn up to $206/day with weekly paychecks
  • $171/day for daily positions and $206/day for long-term positions
  • A quick hiring process - receive an offer within 1 week of applying or less
  • Teach close to home - choose from KIPP schools across the Nashville area
  • Get your foot in the door for full-time positions at KIPP, one of the highest performing charter networks in the country 
  • A W-2 meaning no fussing with taxes at year end
  • Join a supportive community who cares about your success - access Kokua's support team from 6 am - 8 pm every day
  • You'll need:

  • Associate's degree or 60+ credit hours
  • Bachelor's degree preferred, but candidates will be considered based on relevant experience
  • 1+ year(s) experience working with students
  • Willingness to work at least 3 days/week
  • Preference given to candidates available to work Mondays and/or Fridays
  • Confidence to manage a classroom of students
  • Ability to pass state & federal background check 
  • Strong belief that every child has a unique & powerful gift to share with the world
  • About Kokua Education

    Founded by a former teacher, Kokua has been connecting amazing individuals to K-12th substitute teaching positions for over 12 years. We currently operate in schools across the country, and serve schools across Nashville, building a growing community of dedicated substitute teachers who want to make a difference in students' lives. We believe that one role model can change a student's life forever.

    As our Hawaiian name says, Kokua is about coming together as a community and paving a pathway for generations to come.
