We're here to help.
Introducing STARS, a novel service designed to address the prevailing shortages in substitute teachers and other various school-related positions within our WNY districts. In the creation of this service, we collaborated closely with an advisory committee consisting of school district administrators, human resources, and school business professionals. This committee was united by a shared mission and commitment to both short and long-term goals.
Marketing
Our primary focus initially involves participating in job fairs, multi-media advertising such as digital commercials, newspapers, social media platforms and establishing connections with an increased presence with local universities. We have an established application process on our website (www.e1b.org/STARS) where we direct applicants to apply. We then forward all applicants to your district for you to process.
Vetting
This module encompasses the screening of the applicants, vetting, interviewing, fingerprint scheduling (additional charge), certification/license review, reference checking, and more. We would sort candidates based off of district specific minimum qualifications for each substitute position.
Training.
Our efforts extend to exploring strategies for consistently engaging substitute teachers through ongoing professional growth opportunities.
Introducing STARS 360
This service will provide an all encompassing 360 effort to help your district try and curb the nationwide sub shortage.
This service would include everything in our STARS - Substitute Training and Recruiting Services 660.800.00 program. School districts are able to utilize this centralized service to obtain substitute teachers and other staff to fill short- and long-term openings. Recruiting, fingerprinting (additional charge, see service 660.700), reference checking and substitute training/orientation are included. School districts would give us the authority to completely vet, interview, and hire the appropriate substitute applicants. We would send a list of hired substitute applicants with their demographic data and HR paperwork to the school district each month so it can go before the board for approval.
If you participate in either of our Frontline Absence Management 660.500.00 or Red Rover 660.600.00 services, we would also then automatically enter the hired substitutes in those systems for your district.
