Competence, Not Just Compliance
Background checks and fingerprints only make a substitute legal. They do not prepare them to manage a classroom, understand FERPA, or de-escalate behavior. This ‘readiness gap’ leads to liability issues and high turnover.
STEDI provides the university-level training layer that HR departments don’t have time to build. We turn ‘approved applicants’ into professional substitute teachers.

Upgrade Your Substitute Pool Without Touching Your Budget
Introducing our Zero-Cost Implementation Model
Just as teachers pay for their own licensure, serious substitute applicants are willing to invest in their own readiness. By making the STEDI SubDiploma™ a requirement for hiring, you filter for committed professionals while removing the financial burden from the district.
We handle the transaction, the training, and the support. You get the qualified professional.
