Develop a comprehensive Employer Value Proposition (EVP).

To attract quality substitutes, you need a compelling EVP that outlines what you offer beyond just compensation. This includes:

Work environment and expectations: Convey your district's values and how they translate into the workplace.
Benefits offerings: Can you provide benefits to temporary employees like health, dental, retirement, student loan support, EAP?
Career development and growth: Detail how you invest in career trajectories.
Work-life balance: Highlight the flexibility of choosing one's schedule or the stability of accepting a long-term position.
Perks: Do you offer free lunches, referral bonuses, or free admission to school events?
Recognition: Discuss your substitute teacher of the month/year program or other ways you show appreciation.

Make this proposition clear and easy to understand. A comprehensive EVP will help candidates understand the value they stand to gain when working for the district, which can influence their decision-making. Be sure to place the EVP in job descriptions, district career webpage, and social postings.
