How Does Swing Education Operate, and How Can I Manage Job Postings and District Preferences?
Swing Education is designed to connect educators with schools through a flexible and dynamic marketplace.
Understanding Swing Education's Marketplace Model
Swing Education operates as a marketplace where school partners post job requests based on their current needs.
As a user, you can choose which available opportunities to accept, ranging from single-day jobs to multi-day or long-term positions. The schools offering jobs may vary daily based on their needs, giving you the flexibility to manage your schedule and work preferences.
Accessing and Applying for Jobs
To find job opportunities, follow these steps:
Sign in to your Swing Education account.
You must already have completed your Swing account setup.
Navigate to the "Openings" tab, where all available requests are listed.
Select and sign up for the sub requests that meet your needs and preferences.
Note all sub requests will have the school's location, classroom details, schedule (time and dates), point of contact, and the pay details alongside the request details.
Managing Preferences for Schools and Districts
Working in a Specific School
Since Swing Education operates as a marketplace, it doesn’t guarantee long-term work at a single school. Job opportunities depend entirely on the positions posted by partner schools. This flexibility allows you to explore different school environments and select jobs that best fit your schedule.

Avoiding Specific Districts
If you prefer not to work in certain districts, the best course of action is to avoid accepting job posts from those areas. The platform does not have a mechanism to block specific districts, but as a user, you can control your preferences by selecting or avoiding particular postings.
Additional Tips
If you have general questions regarding a specific request, you're welcome to contact the school's point-of-contact listed within the request before signing up.
If you already signed up for a request, all questions regarding the request can still be sent to the point-of-contact listed.
