Reminder: Substitute Teacher Recruitment Toolkit Available

A common theme we hear among area school administrators is the need for more substitute teachers. Heartland AEA is an approved provider of the substitute authorization program, and we would like to assist you in recruiting more substitute teachers from your communities. Below are some tools to help assist you in this effort.

Poster
These posters may be hung in your schools during parent/teacher conferences and sporting events and around the community. There is space at the bottom of the poster where you can write in the district’s/school’s hiring contact information. Posters can be ordered through our Creative Services department. Posters will be printed on 13x19 hardy poster paper and cost 40 cents each. Complete a Creative Services order form and under item description, write “Substitute Teacher Poster” with the quantity. Completed forms can be sent to Jill Crees, Production Facilitator, at creativeservices@heartlandaea.org. Allow two weeks for process and delivery.

Link to the Heartland AEA website
Ask your technology personnel to include a “Become a substitute teacher!” link on your district’s/school’s website that links to the Heartland AEA substitute authorization page:
