With our three different membership levels, we expect that school districts will utilize SubSmart in different ways:
Some districts will use Registry-Pro to have their substitute coordinator better manage the calling of their substitute teachers. At this level, teachers and substitutes still make phone calls to the substitute coordinator. However, the school district will have the ability to better match a substitute to a particular teacher.
Districts using District-Pro will find that they can significantly reduce staff time coordinating substitutes. Some schools may choose to delegate registry duties to their building secretaries or other staff members. At this level, the website will automatically assign and contact via e-mail the substitute teachers. Once a teacher requests off, job offers will become visible to substitutes on their account pages. From their accounts, the substitutes can confirm or decline these jobs. The substitute coordinator will have a much smaller role and will basically just monitor the website. He or she will only intervene if necessary.
Districts that join the SubSmart Call Center will allow us to totally coordinate their substitute teachers. Our 24 hour, seven days a week call center will be an inexpensive and worry-free alternative.
SubSmart's goal is to help school districts manage their substitute teachers in a more efficient and effective way. Benefits may include: saving your district a substantial amount of money, tracking teachers and substitutes in your buildings better, and attracting more qualified substitute teachers to your district. We also believe that our system will assign substitutes more consistently to particular teachers and subjects. This will allow your substitute teachers to know the students better which will improve student behavior.
