Job Description

Substitute Reading Coach (Independent Contractor, On-Call Pool)About J3 Foundation

J3 Foundation (J3) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to give scholars the foundation they need for a lifetime of reading success. J3 equips 4th graders in under-resourced communities with the tools they need to achieve grade-level literacy while fostering self-confidence, a love of reading, and an identity as lifelong learners.

Launched in 2018, J3 was created in response to alarming data showing that 4th graders reading below grade level in under-resourced schools face increased risks of incarceration or dependence on public assistance as young adults. J3 works to change that narrative by providing reading intervention programs and after-school reading clubs to students in Los Angeles County, with plans to expand nationwide.

Position Overview

J3 Foundation is building a substitute pool of 3 independent contractors to serve as Substitute Reading Coaches on an as-needed basis. Substitute Coaches ensure program continuity when regular Reading Coaches are unavailable.

Using the research-based SIPPS curriculum, substitutes provide small-group instruction, maintain a restorative learning environment, and support student progress. Assignments may be communicated the day prior or same-day and may occur at different school sites within J3’s partner network.

This is an independent contractor role coordinating with a J3 Program Manager for assignment coordination.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver small-group reading instruction (max 6 students) using the SIPPS curriculum during substitute assignments
  • Deliver instruction aligned with the provided resources to ensure instructional consistency
  • Foster a restorative and inclusive classroom culture that supports student engagement and growth
  • Submit attendance and session documentation related to student performance
  • Communicate promptly with the J3 Program Manager regarding availability and assignment updates
  • Adapt quickly to new school sites, staff, and student groups
  • Represent J3 with professionalism, reliability, and commitment to equity

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in education or related field
  • 2+ years of experience working with students in an urban school setting
  • Strong classroom management and instructional delivery skills
  • Flexibility and adaptability in new classroom environments
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
  • Reliable transportation to travel between multiple school sites
  • Ability to accept short-notice assignments when possible
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in education
  • Reading Specialist certification or 3+ years of experience teaching struggling readers
  • California Teaching Credential
  • Familiarity with SIPPS curriculum
  • Bilingual proficiency (Spanish / English and / or Armenian / English)
  • Schedule and Compensation

  • Type : Independent contractor, substitute coverage (no guaranteed minimum hours)
  • Assignments : Typically during the school day, ~3–4 hours per shift
  • Notice : May be contacted the day before or same-day to confirm availability
  • Sites : May be assigned to different schools within J3’s program network
  • Duration : School year (late August – late April, following school calendars)
  • Budget : $33–38 / hour (commensurate with experience). Contractors are paid for hours worked in connection with assignments, up to the agreed duration.
  • Reimbursements : Mileage reimbursed for approved travel / material pickups
  • Contractor Notes

  • Contractors are responsible for their own tax obligations and record-keeping.
  • Contractors are not employees of J3 Foundation and are not eligible for employee benefits.
  • Commitment to Equity

    J3 Foundation is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community of contractors who reflect the students and families we serve. We encourage applications from individuals whose lived experiences mirror those of the communities J3 supports.
