From unexpected sick days to important days off, our substitute teachers at IDEA provide our students with the help and support they need to not miss a beat in their coursework.

Every year during American Education Week, we celebrate Substitute Educators Day. We want to thank all of those who contribute towards our mission of College for All. Hear from some of our substitute educators in IDEA Tampa Bay, IDEA Jacksonville, IDEA Baton Rouge, and IDEA Greater Cincinnati regions about their love for the profession and why they choose to do it with us.
