The Substitute Journey

Tia was eager to make a difference in the world of K-12 as a substitute teacher, but she didn’t meet the traditional training requirements and pre-requisites. After searching for options, she found Frontline’s Substitute Teacher Training, a self-paced program designed specifically for substitutes that aligned to state Teaching Standards.

Tia quickly enrolled and embarked on the crucial first step of becoming a sub. She dove into the tailor-made coursework, from classroom management and instructional strategies to leadership and legal obligations. After completing the 20 hours of content, Tia received and printed her certification and was ready to begin applying in her surrounding school districts!

Tapping into Frontline Recruiting & Hiring and K12JobSpot's extensive network, Tia connects to districts actively seeking substitutes (like Springland City Schools!). This proactive approach not only broadens her job prospects but also simplifies the application process, streamlining her journey to securing meaningful assignments.

Once hired, Tia seamlessly transitions into the onboarding process with Frontline Central. Streamlined and user-friendly, this platform simplifies paperwork and new hire forms, ensuring that she can focus on what matters most – preparing for an engaging classroom experience. Rather than spending her first day in the central office filling out paperwork, Tia is ready to dive into her new role.

Frontline’s on-the-go mobile app, offered through Frontline’s Absence & Time solution, allows Tia to explore opportunities anytime, anywhere, making her job search a breeze. And with just a few taps, she browses available openings within the district. Real-time updates and notifications keep Tia informed, providing a stress-free experience as she integrates into the Springland City Schools community.

Tia's success as a substitute teacher relies on proper and relevant training. With personalized modules designed to enhance her skills and align with Springland City Schools' standards, Tia gains the confidence needed to excel in the classroom. Whether it's classroom management techniques or understanding district-specific protocols, her learnings through Frontline Professional Growth ensure she’s well-equipped for success.

After Tia accepts her first assignment, the simplicity of Frontline Frontline Absence & Time makes her day-to-day seamless. She can quickly and easily log in hours, submit reports, and access any vital information. Not only does the solution help Tia save time, but it also ensures accuracy and transparency in her substitute teaching journey.

To make sure Tia is prepared to jump in so ensure student learning isn’t interrupted, teachers at Springland can leave notes and attach materials like lesson plans within Frontline’s Absence Management.

Through Frontline’s partnership with Wagestream, Tia has the opportunity to access her pay when she wants it, as she earns it. Being able to retrieve a portion of her earned wages before the traditional payday provides Tia with greater financial control and flexibility.
