VIEW AESOP TRAINING GUIDES FOR THE NEW SUBSTITUTE TEACHER PROGRAM
The district is in the process of setting up the system known as AESOP to manage our substitute teacher needs. The system will allow the use of either the phone or a computer to request a substitute (teachers) or select and accept a position (substitute teachers). The demonstration sites below provide an opportunity to look how the system works for both teachers and substitute teachers.
Prior to implementing the new system, both teachers and substitute teachers will have an opportunity to be trained. The implentation plan which addresses training needs and the date the program will be initiated is still be developed. When the plan is finalized we will contact all teachers and substitute teachers regarding training opportunities and the implementation date.
