Why TEACH?
Swing Education believes every student deserves the best learning opportunities, which can only happen when there’s a qualified educator in every classroom.
Swing wants to create a better way for schools to fill substitute teacher openings and to expand the pool of educators nationwide in order to address the national teacher shortage. The Swing TEACH Program supports both of these goals!
