Student Monitors

Can anyone tell me more about this job? Is it usually full week or selected days, what you do most of the day… ? I’ve read the description, but would like to hear from someone who has worked as a monitor and can tell me their experience.thanks!

Full week or selected days depends on the school’s need. The job is essentially a floating sub.

You mean they make you a substitute teacher on monitor’s pay?

A monitor will have assigned duties just like teachers and IAs do, and that may include covering a class that doesn’t have a sub. If the monitor is good at the job they may be offered a full time position as an IA. -NP

I can't believe they get anyone to take that job for minimum wage.

Yes, what duties were listed in the description beyond “monitoring a class/students” when the teacher is not present? (i.e. sub)

They get paid less than subs and get no benefits, I have no idea why anyone would this job. They end up essentially being subs.

If you need a job that aligns with your kids’ school schedule there are not many choices. That is annoying though, substitute teachers get pay more. I thought student monitor was more of a hallway, recess and lunch supervisor

+1. They’re supposed to be monitoring hallways and covering for lunch periods. They end up working as subs or IAs because no one with college coursework wants to be an IA for $20 per hour or a sub for $18 per hour. It’s basically a cheap attempt for FCPS to hire people with zero college experience to work in these positions without explicitly lowering the standards.

FCPS already has lunch monitors as a part-time job and teachers oversee recess. They want these monitors to cover classes.

I worked as a student monitor all last year. I did have lunch duty everyday. Breakfast duty, hallway duty. And more Often worked as a substitute teacher. Covered classes when teachers when teachers were in meetings. Worked with small groups. Basically the same as IA’s. I was assigned to the same school. Paid $15.73 an hour. But did not get sub pay even when I worked a full day as a sub.
I got a job this year as an IA. Because I wanted a little more money, and benefits

Why would anyone commit to this when they could freelance as a sub for MORE money and MORE flexibility?

It’s not about the money. It’s an amazing school. Perfect fit, place to call home. excited about decision.
