Slate Scheduling Software

Many K-12 schools have deployed a significant amount of technology in recent years, but a common challenge is measuring its return on investment (ROI). 💰 According to a 2023 survey, 85% of U.S. educators believe it’s difficult to assess the impact of educational technology on learning outcomes. Additionally, 67% of software licenses are reportedly going unused in some districts, suggesting inefficiencies in technology use. In contrast, the impact of Slate’s absence management and substitute staffing solution is clear. 🌟 A classroom with or without a teacher. 🍎 By increasing substitute fill rates from 81% to 93%, Slate ensures that classrooms remain productive, reducing the negative effects of teacher absences. 💪 Contact us for a quote or a demo. https://lnkd.in/eGV4ciPk

A whitepaper from Pearson identified a few new ways to impact teacher time management challenges and burnout. 😮💨 A summary of their tips: 1️⃣ Focus on the energy needed for tasks versus the time, and schedule high focus tasks such as lesson planning with your natural flow of higher energy times. 2️⃣ Batch tasks versus multi tasking. 3️⃣ Systemize as much as possible, and involve students where possible (students handing out papers, students leading an activity). 4️⃣ Block off time for family outreach - even 15 minutes can make a difference - create email templates for various scenarios, and track outreach so at some point all families will be reached.

What would we do without them. Substitute teachers. Their role is critical to making sure our students get the classroom instruction they need. They fill in when our teachers need the time out of the classroom they need. And they keep education moving forward at a time when it's most crucial. Thank you - from the entire team at Slate, and the educators we serve - we are so grateful for each one of you. #substituteteaching #teachers #education #k12education #substituteteachers #substitutestaffing #substitutueappreciationday
