Summer Special Offer Puts a Smile on the Face of Administrators
| Central Xchange offers Sub-IT to help districts address substitute teacher placement and improve teacher absence rates at the same time. Syracuse, NY - School districts nationwide have a unique opportunity to trial a new software product designed to streamline substitute teacher placement. Central Xchange, the makers of Sub-ITtm, are offering a Summer Special to help school administrators improve classroom staffing. After viewing a short, on-line demo, most districts quickly agree to the free, 60 day trial starting in the Fall of ’08. This offer represents nearly 20% of Sub-IT’s overall value, making it the most affordable answer to successful substitute teacher management today. Human resource professionals and business managers are impressed with the ease of Sub-IT’s interface, and especially approve of the ‘per teacher’ price structure. “Sub-IT is more affordable than other on-line vendors, and they offer reports to help us track absence patterns by school and teacher,” says Randy Williams, Director of Human Resources at the Syracuse City Schools in Syracuse, NY. Once the demo is viewed, schools districts proceed with set up over the summer when schedules are less stressed. Reporting features for school and teacher level absence tracking are a key benefit of Sub-IT. Recent studies indicates rising absenteeism among teachers is a growing factor in lower student achievement scores, particularly in the elementary grades. Vigilant administrators seeking reduce absenteeism look to providers like Sub-IT, and are happy with the results. Tracking absences by school or teacher gives school principals the data needed to shift attention to schools with higher rates of absent teachers, as well as to develop incentives for good attendance and to help schools identify their most active subs. A new Spanish language version increases the pool of available substitutes in regions with higher concentrations of Hispanic speakers. Improved reporting makes Sub-IT a viable choice for schools districts who want to increase the quality and number of substitute teachers available. With a summer Sub-IT trial, busy administrators get a head start to better and easier classroom staff placement once school starts in the fall. |
