[quote=Anonymous]As a former teacher, I think it's not so much an issue of where to post. It's how you frame the posting. Most people are going to scroll right by "subs needed" or something along those lines.

You really need to sell the school and the kids. I worked in a DCPS that could get brand new subs easily. Once they'd been there for a day or two, they never came back because of all the behavior problems. I worked in a charter school out in MD that literally had two fights in the four years I was there. The kids were angels, but a lot of subs saw the area we were in and assumed the worst. Our school was a best kept secret in the sub pool, because the ones who did accept the posting knew that it was a really easy assignment and kept their mouths shut.

So you have to sell the type of environment they're walking into, the support they'll receive, and something unique about the school. I don't know how (or even if) you can do that in a job posting, but I think that would go a long way to attracting subs in this climate. [/quote]
