Why substitute teachers?
On average, students spend a year with a substitute teacher over the course of their K12 education. In marginalized communities, it’s more than two years. With current teacher shortages, more than half of classrooms don’t have any coverage—substitutes or full-time educators—pushing schools to their breaking point and robbing students of the education they deserve.
As educators, technologists, and parents, we know we can do better! BenchK12 is dedicated to reducing lost learning time by getting more new educators in the classroom faster, and by giving greater flexibility to current educators.
More substitutes are a critical piece of the solution, but they are just the beginning. Learn more about our long-term goals.
