Benefits of being a Star Sub:
Swing Education gives extra benefits to our most reliable substitutes such as:
- A “Star Sub” icon is visible to schools on your substitute profile.
- Priority for filling long-term requests.
- Priority for assignments with new school partners.
- As one of our best subs, you are notified of requests before it goes out to the general pool of subs.
How can I see my status?
- If you are a Star Sub, you receive a star badge on your profile which is visible to schools.
- If you do not see the star badge, then you are likely on your way to becoming a Star.
- Each assignment without a negative event will either bring you closer to Star Status or maintain your status. It’s important to have excellent reliability and to build relationships with administrators.
How to become a Star Sub:
Do's:
- Get positive feedback! Schools have the option to leave feedback, so do good work, get a positive review, and avoid negative feedback.
- See our Best Practices and Resources Articles and review the Code of Conduct for a detailed list of expectations.
- Get preferred! Create great relationships with schools so they request you as a preferred sub.
- Pick up a lot of assignments. The more you work, without a negative event, the better your standing will be.
Don'ts:
- Don’t no-show. No-shows strain school resources and negatively affect your status.
