The process of accessing relief teachers can be expensive, a new company looks to change that.

Casual relief teachers can be expensive, after the agency takes a cut, the cost of accessing some help when a member of staff can’t make it can make a real hole in the budget.

It’s a situation that was ripe for disruption and airTeachr, an online platform designed to smooth the process of hiring and managing casual relief teachers (CRTs), is looking to take up the slack.

This platform offers an array of features that streamline the entire process, providing schools with convenience, cost savings, and improved teacher management capabilities via a comprehensive, user-friendly site.

airTeachr enables schools to rate CRTs based on their performance, providing valuable feedback for future hiring decisions. This accountability ensures that teachers strive for excellence, ultimately benefiting both schools and students.

Schools pay a single, affordable monthly fee, gaining access to a range of features and services that would otherwise come at a premium. There is even a free subscription that allows schools to use the platform at no cost. 

The platform allows schools to upload essential information before a shift, ensuring CRTs are fully prepared and equipped to deliver an exceptional learning experience. Additionally, CRTs can submit online reports after their shifts, facilitating transparent communication between schools and teachers.

airTeachr provides schools with real-time visibility into the availability of CRTs in their area. This eliminates the arduous task of individually contacting multiple teachers or relying on agencies to find suitable replacements.

Schools can book CRTs instantly through airTeachr, saving valuable time and effort. The platform's intuitive interface and real-time availability of information empower schools to secure teachers swiftly and efficiently, even during urgent situations.

With airTeachr, schools can send out shift requests to all CRTs in the close vicinity, significantly increasing the chances of finding suitable replacements promptly. This feature ensures uninterrupted classroom instruction and reduces administrative burden.

"This platform is exactly what we need, we don't like relying on agencies and we can manage everything in one place" said Sonia, Daily Org at Maharishi School.
