13 reasons you should require training

Training substitute teachers reduces the risk that the substitutes would do something that would cause legal action.

You will receive fewer applications from unqualified substitutes because only trained subs will apply.

A STEDI-Ready substitute knows what to do in tough situations. You will receive fewer complaints

Substitutes stop teaching because they hate their job, and they hate their job because they don’t know how to handle students.

You will see a reduction in unemployment claims because substitutes will be employed and content in their jobs.

You will be able to fill more classrooms each day because trained substitutes tend to work more often.

Our courses are the most comprehensive training programs available. The result is a higher quality substitute.

There is a correlation between training and retention. Trained substitutes tend to stay in your “active” pool longer.

Trained substitutes want to teach more than untrained substitutes. The training gives them confidence and knowledge.

Your substitutes will be added to the SubSuggestions email list which will include reminders of skills and strategies taught in the STEDI courses.

We guarantee that complaints registered against substitute teachers will decrease, that your teachers will recognize the change in quality of substitute teachers and will leave more competent lesson plans, and that the quality of applicants will increase.

If your substitutes earn their SubDiploma and meet your district’s hiring requirements and they are still not offered a job, we will refund their tuition 100%.
