SUCCESS STORIES

We have been extremely pleased, first of all with the customer service in building the program. What I mean by building the program is that there is a lot of personalization and customization that we were able to put into this program which kind of made it unique for Davie County.

–  Jeff Wallace, Davie County Schools NC

When you talk about the App-Garden sub training, it has been a huge problem solver for us. We used to do face to face training. We don’t want to take away the value of meeting our employees and working with them, but with the App-Garden sub training they can access it at anytime. They can access it at their own time and there is no time delay in getting them started. Setting it up and getting it customized for our district has been big for us. Working with folks at the App-Garden who understand the education environment was very important to us.

–  Sylvia White, Newton-Conover Schools, NC

We have been using the App-Garden sub training since 2015. The App-Garden has really allowed us to streamline our processes and become much more efficient with our substitute applications. Therefore, allowing us to add more subs to the list throughout the year which is a real win for all of our campuses.

Save Time / Money

  • Redundancy – Eliminates staff time spent conducting sub training over and over.
  • Consistency – Eliminates inconsistencies in training where multiple trainers are used and also eliminates the need for multiple trainers.

 

Availability

  • Mobile – Subs may login and train from any location with internet access
  • Flexible – Training is available 24/7 all during the school year.

Better Pool of Subs

  • Engage Subs Faster – Potential subs can obtain training immediately and be utilized in the classroom sooner rather than waiting potentially months for training.
  • Subs have “skin in the game” – You will no longer spend time and money completing paperwork and spending money doing background checks for subs who don’t ever show up to sub. Having the subs pay a small fee for their training ensures that they are serious about wanting to sub.

 

Improved Satisfaction

  • Self-paced – Subs train at their own pace
  • Modules – Training is in short modules which allows subs to repeat modules
  • Less Distraction – Training can be done privately which is much less distracting to the sub.

 

 Improved Compliancy

  • Provides records – Complete records on what was provided in the training and quizzes that assess learning provide the backup information you need

Assessment of Understanding – Your subs will be assessed after each module to ensure understanding of the material.
