It’s structured to allow for independent learning, boosting sub job knowledge and fostering a growing community of support. Launching it couldn’t be easier … you’ll quickly see a significant benefit with this program.”

What Subs Are Saying…

“I am completely new to substituting. After completing this course though I can confidently say that I feel prepared to be a substitute teacher.”

 

“I learned so many things. The flow of the content was great – it felt like I was in a class that followed all the advice it was giving.”

“As a retired teacher now subbing, I found this series to be an excellent refresher to what I learned in teacher’s college.”
