Our orientation process and quality control measures, developed with schools, ensure that only the most qualified substitute teachers end up in front of children. Kelly works with schools at the branch level, reports Oliver, and partners with the schools, following their criteria. Meanwhile, Kelly is working with a national advertising firm to recruit teachers. And with schools, there's no need to demonstrate a demand. Ninety-seven percent of school districts report a shortage.
Schools are excited about the program.
It has worked better than we ever could have imagined. The Private School Market Teachers On Reserve, Inc., based in Woodland Hills CA, has taken a different approach to providing classroom professionals. Founded in 1987, the company serves private and non-public schools that do not require teachers to have the credentials demanded by their public counterparts. Teachers On Reserve provides substitutes in Los Angeles and the surrounding area as well as permanent placement services throughout California. Since 1987, Teachers On Reserve has placed more than 2,500 substitute teachers, who have taught more than 450,000 hours and, in addition, placed more than 500 permanent teachers and administrators in private and independent schools.
