Substitute Teacher Platforms

The ReadySub Substitute Management App Helps Teachers and Admin

— April 30, 2015 — Lifestyle
Designed specifically with school administrators and their staffing needs in mind, this substitute management platform helps find teachers on short notice. The web-based ReadySub app helps schools find substitute teachers by simplifying the process and reducing costs.

In an effort to minimize miscommunication and keep classrooms full, ReadySub removes the need to make inefficient phone calls. School districts sign up and create profiles for each of their schools. When they need a substitute teacher, they simply create a post containing all the necessary details, such as the location, length and special needs. In addition to substitute management, the platform also provides administrators with analytics about absences in comprehensive reports.

Teachers can join for free and receive notifications on their smartphone, tablet or desktop computer when posts become available. They can also apply for them in app.
