Consultation

Every partner works with a dedicated Scoot Education Consultant.

Your consultant takes the necessary time to understand:

  • Program needs
  • Unique challenges
  • What type of educators would thrive
  • What success means to you

That’s how your consultant sends not just anyone, but the right educators.

Request a consultation.

Vetting

We bring you people we trust. Every educator goes through Scoot’s rigorous vetting:

  • Background checks
  • References
  • Skill screening
  • Evaluations aligned to expanded learning and special education support

We look for educators who are dependable, compassionate, and ready to make a difference.

Matching

Matching isn’t just a step for us. It speaks to the core of how we view placements as not just sending anyone available but the right person.

We look closely at your program design, student needs, and educator strengths to make thoughtful, intentional placements. If a role calls for specialized skills or additional prep (such as 1:1 or small‑group special education support), we closely vet educators who actually have these skills before they ever step foot on campus.

Training & Transition

For long‑term roles or positions requiring specialized skills, we offer targeted training in areas like supporting students with disabilities, ABA basics, PBIS, behavior strategies, and crisis‑prevention techniques.

When needed—especially for behavior specialists—we coordinate smooth transitions with overlap time so students feel supported and continuity isn’t disrupted.

Ongoing Support

Your consultant stays connected long after placement.

We check in regularly, gather feedback, and adjust staffing as your needs evolve.

If you find an educator who’s a perfect fit, we can also extend their support into regular school hours to keep your program consistent and strong.

Consistent staff starts with thorough vetting.

  1. Multi-step vetting: Includes phone screen, 1:1 virtual interview, state and federal compliance checks
  2. Three references: We verify experience with previous coworkers and require that one reference be a direct manager/supervisor
  3. Ongoing support after placement: If an educator struggles, our team steps in immediately to coach or replace – so your students don’t lose momentum

Scoot expanded learning success stories

Arc Experience

The Challenge
Arc Experience, an after school and experiential education provider, needed to launch their partner’s after school program without delays or waitlists while meeting strict student-to-staff ratios for safety compliance.

The Scoot Solution
Scoot quickly provided substitute program leaders to fill urgent gaps.

As the partnership grew, we began supporting specialized roles in Music and Special Education.

The Growth
From 3 schools and 3 long-term roles to 13 schools averaging 19 long-term educators plus day-to-day bookings. Since the beginning of our partnership, Scoot has delivered 622 educator placements, helping Arc scale and stay compliant.

Poway Unified School District

The Challenge
Poway Unified School District needed fast, reliable staffing to support their growing expanded learning programs—especially educators who could work 1:1 or 1:2 with students with special needs. They faced aggressive timelines and a widening gap in coverage.

The Scoot Solution
Scoot partnered with Poway Unified through a proactive, consultative approach: offering upfront cost projections, monthly check‑ins, and continuous coordination as needs evolved.

We staffed trained educators for before‑ and after‑school programs, including special education support, enrichment instructors, and floaters to ensure inclusive environments.

The Growth
Scoot filled 19 long‑term roles by December and delivered 2,410 total placements with a 99% fill rate—creating consistent coverage, stronger engagement, and a more inclusive program experience for students with diverse needs.

Boys & Girls Club of Greater Conejo Valley

The Challenge
Boys & Girls Club of Greater Conejo Valley urgently required vacancy support so they can focus on hiring full-time staff at the start of summer.

The Scoot Solution
Scoot provided both long-term, after school support and day-to-day substitutes, culminating a total of 300 requests fulfilled before their first day of school.

The Growth
Since then, we have placed more than 150 long-term, after school staff and average less than an hour to fill any last-minute vacancies for Conejo Valley USD.

For long‑term or specialized positions, educators receive additional training such as:
  • Supporting students with disabilities

Yes. We’re not just a substitute agency. Scoot has a dedicated Expanded Learning team that specializes in after‑school and out‑of‑school‑time staffing.

This team understands ELOP requirements, ratio compliance, special‑needs support, enrichment programming, and the operational realities of running safe, engaging after‑school programs.

You work directly with a consultant who knows your program, your students, and your staffing history — not an automated system.
