Unlocking the potential of substitute teaching.
About us
Substantial is a national nonprofit on a mission to unlock the potential of substitute teaching. We use human-centered design to create tools that help districts rethink how they recruit, train and support substitute teachers: -SubSchool: Online PD for subs - online courses, resources and facilitated learning communities. -SubPlans: Streamline the process for creating and managing sub plans, making it easy for schools to provide substitute teachers the information they need to have a successful day. Substantial was incubated at Stanford's dschool and is an alumni of the AT&T Aspire EdTech Accelerator. Substantial is a fiscally sponsored project of Playworks Education Energized (“Playworks”), a California based nonprofit public benefit corporation. Playworks is tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code and our Federal Tax ID number (FEIN) is 94-3251867.

We’ve supported the learning of THOUSANDS of substitute teachers through SubSchool. We are pretty proud of that statistic and we’ve worked hard to build the infrastructure to be able to provide low cost, high quality training in partnership with schools and districts all across the country. But that means hundreds of thousands of substitute teachers still get virtually no training. Every sub in America should have high quality training in the skills they need to work with students.

School has changed a lot in the last few decades. In our Facilitating Instruction series we introduce subs to some of the most critical shifts, including that modern classrooms are louder because students collaborate more. This helps subs know what to expect and helps them better understand lesson plans. This is just one of the topics we cover in our Facilitating Instruction series.
