From Managers of Substitute Teachers
The Substitute Teaching Division of STEDI.org has provided a valuable service to our school district.
STEDI.org provides online training for our substitute teachers in a timely and effective manner. The training has reduced complaints registered against substitute teachers and has increased the retention of our quality substitute teachers.
This is my second school district with which I have implemented STEDI.org. Principals have also been very impressed with the training and have seen a significant difference in the caliber of substitutes. I recommend STEDI.org to you without reservation.
Mr. Britt – Frederick County (MD)
The Substitute Teaching Division of STEDI.org has been a great resource for our district.
STEDI.org has provided online training for our substitute teachers as a prerequisite for being hired into the district. The training has provided the substitutes with necessary and effective tools to help them better manage a classroom.
Their staff has always responded quickly and professionally to our questions and concerns. Additionally, they have provided excellent support for our substitute teachers when technical or content-based questions arise.
When we began the training program, the set-up and implementation went smoothly and with minimal disruption. The people at STEDI.org were experienced and helpful in the transition and I would highly recommend them.
Ms. Washington – Boston Public (MA)
STEDI.org provides training for our substitute teachers in a timely and effective manner. The training has reduced complaints registered against substitute teachers and has increased the retention of our quality substitute teachers.
We have received positive feedback from our substitutes regarding the ease of use, the helpful fill-in activities and the excellent customer service they have received from STEDI.org.
Ms. Hill – Metro-Nashville Schools (TN)
We have only recently begun our work with STEDI. However, it is clear that the quality of new substitute teachers is much better qualified and prepared for their work in our district. We believe that this training will reduce complaints registered against our substitute teachers and will increase the retention of our quality substitute teachers.
I recommend that you give STEDI fair consideration. I believe that you will be pleased with their training and the ease with whom they are to work.

A lot of great ideas.
– Andrew
This story has nearly brought tears to my eyes with encouragement that any student from any classroom with any reputation can be inspired to think and act positively. I am now ready to begin my career as a teacher. Thank you.
– Michelle
I would just like to thank this blog for helping me to land a long-term substituting position in my favorite school building. My notes from reading this blog have helped me to improve my teaching and networking, as well as prepare me for a permanent teaching position. Thank you so much for all of your help and ego boosting!
– Emily
This has been a great program with an easy and helpful layout. Thank you.
– Allison
After some years, I’ve taken up substitute teaching again and was introduced to STEDI through a school district to which I’d applied. I have the handbook and plan to take the online course. The resources STEDI offers have been invaluable. Especially helpful is the information on classroom management. I highly recommend the handbook too.
– Suzanne
I have found the tips/suggestions for substitute teaching a lifesaver! I actually print them off and place them in my substitute teacher notebook that I take with me to every job. Substitute teaching is stressful enough, trying to juggle a new school, new faces, and facilitate learning. The printed information is at my fingertips and easily incorporated into my day if needed. Thanks for keeping my afloat!
– Penni
The ideas about focusing on the positive were really helpful.
– Kimberly
I am absolutely loving this training so far and already have four notes of pages to review. Though I was already confident in substitute teaching, I feel I have exceeded that status and am more fully prepared to teach.
– Lea
Thank you STEDI for your blog! As a retired educator and administrator (38 years), I appreciate the format and information provided.
– Tom
I enjoy all the tips that are shared and practical advice. This website has been very helpful by giving me ideas and a feeling of support. I particularly enjoyed the post about how great high school students are. I was quite nervous my fist time substitute teaching at the high school level but found I really enjoy it. And now, for the most part, I find the high school students respectful and inspiring. Thanks so much!
– Kristina
I love the Substitute Handbook I bought awhile ago. The classroom management section is the most helpful to me!
