Schools are relying on substitute teachers more than ever but districts across the country are struggling to attract and retain enough subs. This institute offers a unique opportunity to strengthen and redesign your substitute teaching system. But to do it you need a vision for changing the game around substitute teaching, and a plan for how to get there. It's time to get serious about our strategy for increasing our pool of substitute teachers. That's exactly what we'll do in this hands-on half-day institute.
First, we will explore the best practices that will keep substitute teachers coming back, helping you to develop a strong plan for increasing sub teacher retention in your school district. Next, we'll examine what we can learn from recruiters and education staffing firms about how to craft an effective recruitment campaign, and you'll practice by mapping one out for your district. Finally, we'll look at how to design an effective sub-to-teacher pipeline and specifically three game-changing examples of programs that have redesigned how substitute teaching works.
You will leave with a strategic plan for strengthening substitute teaching in your school district and a toolkit to help you do it.
A Message From Your Seminar Leader
Dear Colleague:
Gone are the days when we had an abundance of people wanting to work in schools. Keeping schools staffed is the most pressing challenge facing school districts today, and your job has never been harder!
You've got to figure out both how to make substitute teaching more attractive in the current labor market and how to retain substitute teachers once you've hired them. This means you need an effective strategy for building your substitute teaching workforce.
That's just what we'll work on in this intensive half-day leadership institute.
I've gone deep in understanding the dynamics around substitute teaching and ways to get sub teaching systems working better. In our time together, I will share the best practices I've uncovered in my research and experience, and the most promising practical ideas and examples of innovative, effective models for substitute teaching.
But you need more than strategy! As a coach and consultant who has worked with dozens of school district HR teams across the country, I know your bandwidth is limited and your plate is already overflowing. That's why I'll also share a toolkit of things you can use to operationalize your plan and practical advice for how you can advance the work in your own district.
I hope you'll join us for this important half-day institute focused on increasing your substitute teacher pool.
Sincerely,
Amanda von Moos
