Scoot success stories
Value Charter Schools
The Challenge
One charter network faced vacant TK classrooms that needed more than just coverage. They needed educators who understood TK’s unique blend of play-based learning and academic readiness. Standard substitutes weren’t cutting it.
The Scoot Solution
We took time to understand what each campus needed, then matched educators with relevant TK experience from K-12 para backgrounds to small group instruction skills. When one school needed both a teacher and aide, we provided a complete classroom team through our substitute services and TeachStart, a teacher credentialing program.
The Growth
Over two school years, we’ve covered ~100 TK classroom days by matching the right people to the right environments. Our partner was able to get consistent coverage from educators who actually want to be there.
Eagle Ridge Academy
The Challenge
During COVID, Eagle Ridge principal Scott Richardson navigated educator shortages by posting jobs for full-time subs and asking parents for help.
The Scoot Solution
Richardson’s team now had a reliable partner to call in the early mornings for last-minute vacancies and a sub that matched their standards would arrive within the hour.
The Growth
Eagle Ridge’s vacancy fill-rate has averaged 98%. While we’re proud of our fill-rate, we’re especially proud of the feedback from the academy’s admin: “Part of valuing our students and educators revolves around who your substitute teachers are. You don’t just put anyone in the classroom, but somebody who cares…”

Not immediately. We’re all in the same boat where finding credentialed TK teachers is difficult, so we’re working with TeachStart to address both the short-term and long-term.
In the short-term: Scoot can cover substitute staffing for your TK classes with our subs and paras who have experience but not yet the lead teaching credentials.
In the long-term: For schools who partner with TeachStart, we can place “TeachStart Fellows” with prior ECE experience in your TK classrooms. These Fellows work while completing the TeachStart program to earn their multi-subject teaching credential. Once the program concludes, they’ll be ready for you to hire as full-time TK teachers who are already familiar with your school community.
