Scoot Education Careers, Benefits, Review

At our first-ever Scoot symposium, we reiterated our desire to foster a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive team that reflects the communities we serve. Our current goals for representation within the company involve:

1. Race
   • Each team serving a market should be representative of the racial demographics in that market.
2. Language
   • One in three people living in America will speak Spanish as a first or second language by 2050. Our goal is 40% of our workforce by 2025.
3. Gender
   • We aspire to be 67% female and 33% male while being inclusive to non-binary individuals.

In order to reach those goals, we currently have two focus areas for our internal HQ team:

1. Hiring diversely
   • Intentionally growing diverse candidate pools across race, gender, and language.
   • Being innovative in how and where we recruit while relying on varied and new networks.
   • Not rushing the process. Hiring A-players that meet the majority of our criteria can take longer and we're okay with that.
2. Promoting with equity
   • While promotions are based on merit, performance, and business need, we will keep a bird's eye view of promotion trends to ensure we're promoting equitably across the demographics of our team so we can achieve diverse representation across all levels of the company.
   • Ensuring that all team members have the access they need to effective coaching, development opportunities, and career pathways.
   • Leaders will have regular conversations with their team members about their growth opportunities in the organization.

More than a Staffing Agency

Experience an unconventional, people-first approach to matching educators and PreK-12 schools.

Keeping schools staffed with great educators is no small task. But at Scoot, we're making it easier with a people-first, technology-forward approach.

Our world-class technology keeps assignments on track, organized, and easy to manage— but it's our human touch and dedication to supporting our substitute teachers and our school partners that really sets us apart.

Scoot isn't some impersonal, cookie-cutter staffing agency that just fills vacancies all willy-nilly without considering the needs of all those involved.

A Decidedly Different Approach

We actually take the time to understand your goals and requirements, whether you're looking for a teacher or a teaching position.

Scoot consultants thoughtfully hand-match school assignments and local teachers based on criteria like goals, preferences, and values.

Because when it comes to filling vacancies, we know making the right match and providing support on both sides of the front desk is critical to ensure the best outcomes for everyone— especially the students.

And let's be honest— it's really all about the students.

At Scoot, we place exceptional people in educational settings. We invest in teachers looking for substitute or full-time teaching positions and connect them with stellar independent, charter, private, and religiously-affiliated schools across America.

We’re a privately-funded, rapidly growing startup.

Our team at headquarters strives to BE GREAT and delivers exceptional service to partner schools and educators.

If you pride yourself in high performance, a growth mindset, and a work hard play hard attitude we invite you join our company.

Nice to meet you

Our mission is to help create exceptional classroom experiences.

Why? ​Because we truly care about who is standing at the front of your classroom, we know the only way to find the right teacher for the right classroom is by getting to know you and your school’s community.  

When we place one exceptional educator in a classroom, 30 children get a great day of uninterrupted lessons. And when we place two teachers, then 60 kids do, and …well, you get the picture.

Along with our teams in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Canada, we’re part of a global effort to place 1,000,000 exceptional teachers into classrooms each year by 2025.

You can trust us to connect educators and schools who exhibit the traits, values, and personality in alignment with each other.  

We’re a little different and that’s why schools, teachers and employees love working with us.
