About teaching

FAQ from people like you.

Do I get unemployment eligibility?

We don’t control eligibility. That’s ultimately determined by EDD Services.

In general, if you’re a teacher or other school employee and you have a reasonable expectation of returning to your job after the summer break, you may not be eligible for unemployment benefits during that time. This is because unemployment benefits are typically only available to individuals who are actively seeking work and are able to accept a job if one is offered to them.

Eligibility may be impacted by the following:

  • A claim being filed during a recess period (summer break is an example of a recess period)
  • An educator receives an offer to return to work for a school employer when the recess period ends.
  • Scoot is required by law to accurately report reasons for separation of employment, hours work, average pay, etc.
Can I choose my assignments and schedule?

You completely control when you want to work by indicating when you’re available on our Scoot2Work app. Then your designated Scoot Education Consultant will field school partner requests to determine which ones match your schedule and preferences. They’ll send over the right assignments for you to accept!

Let us know what you’re looking for in the phone screening or interview. You can also adjust what you’re looking after you’ve started working too.

What kind of support can I get with Scoot Education?

You’re never truly alone in your teaching journey with Scoot Education. You have a designated Scoot consultant who is available for you 6am – 9pm Monday through Friday.

You can regularly share your feedback on how schools assignments went and if you’d like to change your preferences around grades, subjects, and location.

We also have a number of resources covering topics like behavior management and 1:1 aide that are available via the Scoot2Work app when you get activated as an educator.

Does Scoot take a cut of educators’ pay?

No. 100% of the pay promised to an educator is paid to the educator.

Scoot pays competitive daily rates to educators based on the region they work in. An additional fee is paid by our partner schools which allows Scoot to provide a high-quality service with a personalized touch such as:

  • Ensuring we have local consultants that you can call for support from 6am – 9pm Monday through Friday
  • Launching initiatives like our teacher certification program, TeachStart
  • Building closer school partnerships to ensure we know who we’re sending educators to
  • And much more!

Pay rates vary by region and school but we consistently provide competitive rates for our educators.
