Scoot takes special care to get to know our teachers before employing them. That's why all our teachers have:
Completed a phone screen
Passed a one to one behavioral interview (in person whenever possible)
Provided three professional reference checks with at least one from a current or recent supervisor
Cleared criminal background check according to state requirements (e.g., DOJ & FBI Live Scan) with ongoing arrest notifications
Cleared any medical screening according to state requirements (e.g., TB testing)
Completed mandatory training on topics such as mandated reporting, health & safety, sexual harassment, and creating inclusive classrooms. In California only, a workplace violence course is also completed.
Had their state teacher license(s) searched and cleared
In addition to pre-employment screening, each Scoot substitute is supervised by a consultant (often a former teacher) who manages their performance and provides mentoring so our subs can grow their skill sets and provide better learning outcomes.
