国产精品 Substitute Access: Secure learning continues even when teachers are out

April 14, 2025 Quinn Fusting

Digital learning gives teachers and students many exciting ways to engage and learn. But what happens when a teacher is absent and a substitute is in charge? Without reliable school accounts or application licenses, there isn鈥檛 a secure way for substitutes to access key curriculum. When substitutes can鈥檛 continue lessons because they don鈥檛 have access, student learning suffers. That’s why we built Substitute Access – one additional way we’ve secured all identities, access, and data via 国产精品.

Getting substitute access to curriculum was a security nightmare. Teachers would share their passwords on sticky notes or email them to substitutes. We had no way to know when or how often it happened and it caused all kinds of security concerns.

Lost instructional time and security concerns

From daily classroom interruptions to growing teacher absenteeism 鈥 student instructional time is at risk. With the majority of K-12 classrooms relying on digital learning, schools face a new challenge with how to grant substitute teachers access to curriculum while a teacher is out.聽 Even though substitutes are often technically district employees, many schools accept that substitutes can鈥檛 use their learning applications, diverting students from their structured lesson plan. But what if schools didn’t have to accept this compromise of learning loss to stronger cybersecurity protocols?聽

A new, secure pathway for substitute teachers

With 国产精品 Substitute Access, teachers can securely grant substitutes access to important learning applications and keep learning on track while they鈥檙e out. Using tools they use everyday on 国产精品鈥-Teacher Pages and Badges鈥攖hey can quickly and easily share access to just the resources substitutes will need in class, without the security concerns (like usernames and passwords on stickies or in emails). Once the teacher grants access, substitutes can access applications as the primary teacher 鈥 ensuring that learning continues. 国产精品 who may have devoted application licenses to substitutes in the past won鈥檛 have to consider that in budgeting anymore. Watch a demo below.

Substitute Access is an absolute game changer. It emulates the teachers but only gives substitutes access to the curriculum-based applications they need.
