A long-term substitute is typically hired to fill in for a teacher who is out for an extended period—such as maternity leave, illness, or a vacant position—usually for several weeks or months. A contractor, on the other hand, is an independent professional who isn’t employed directly by the school district but works under a contract agreement, often through a third-party organization like Travel Teach.
With Travel Teach, you’re placed as a contractor in long-term substitute roles, which means you have more flexibility, access to travel stipends and higher pay rates, and you’re responsible for your own taxes—without the standard payroll deductions that traditional employees may have.
