We all know first impressions are really important. Do you ever wonder what first impression your potential applicants have of you?
Likely their first impression is made from your website. In the digital age, we all take to Google when we have a question. Which means your potential applicants likely have visited your district website.
Knowing this, ask yourself the following questions:
- Is it clear how to become a substitute teacher in our district?
- Is the page where we talk about substitute teaching as an option easy to find?
- Does the webpage seem inviting or daunting?
What kind of message are potential applicants taking away after visiting our website? Is it clear what the first step is to becoming a substitute teacher?
How can we find answers to these questions? Easy! Ask a few people! Have a couple of your kids, friends, or current substitute teachers look at the website and have them give you a little feedback. Give them specific questions they can answer.
Better yet, watch them use your website. It will become really obvious what they think of it.
