A Community for Sub Managers

It's time for a new way of thinking about substitutes: how we hire, assess, compensate, engage, support, and ultimately retain them. The Substitute Management Symposium is a 1-day virtual event bringing together hundreds of K-12 administrators, managers, and industry leaders to share insights around a more thoughtful and strategic approach to substitute management.
