As more schools have adopted distance learning and other types of learning arrangements, Swing Education has enhanced the Swing platform to allow school admins to include more details on the request. This allows teachers to determine which requests are the best fit for them. Below we will outline how to issue these requests types. 

In-person Requests

With in-person requests, both students and the teacher are physically present on campus, in the classroom.

• Whole Group in-person requests
  Both the substitute teacher and the entire classroom are on campus, together, in the same classroom.
  
  
  • Directions for posting a small group in-person request:
    1. Under Classroom Arrangement, Select Sub on Campus for the "Sub Location" and Students On Campus for the "Student Location"
       
       
       
    2. Complete the form by filling out "grade level", "subject matter" and any additional notes you wish to share. Once you click "Request Sub" you will see your open request.

Hybrid Requests

Hybrid requests involve a mix between in-person and remote teaching. For example, during a long-term assignment, some days may be remote and others may be on campus. Or, in other cases, the teacher may be on campus and the students could be at home.  

• Substitute Teacher On-Campus, Students Remote

  
  
  Directions:
  1. Under Classroom Arrangement, Select Sub on Campus for the "Sub Location" and Students Remote for the "Student Location"
     
  2. In the "teacher" field, write the teacher's name.
  3. Complete the form by filling out "grade level", "subject matter", "online platform being used" and any additional notes you wish to share. Once you click "Request Sub" you will see  your open request.
     
     
     
• Substitute Teacher Location Varies, Students Location Varies
  With this request type, the location for both the student and substitute teacher can vary, depending on the needs of the school. 
  
  
  
  Directions:
  
  1. Under Classroom Arrangement, Select Depends on the day for the "Sub Location" and Hybrid for the "Student Location".             
     
  2. In the "teacher" field, write the teacher's name.
  3. Complete the form by filling out "grade level", "subject matter", "online platform being used" and any additional notes you wish to share. Once you click "Request Sub" you will see your open request.
     

Distance Learning Requests

With remote requests, the teacher is at home and instruction occurs on the teacher’s personal computer using the school’s video conferencing account. 

Directions for posting a distance learning request:

1. Under Classroom Arrangement, Select Sub Remote for the "Sub Location" and Students Remote for the "Student Location"
   
   

Note: For remote distance learning requests, the address field will state "REMOTE/ONLINE."
