RESTON, Va., Sept. 30, 2024 – The K12 SUBS Program, a groundbreaking initiative by online education provider Stride, Inc., has been awarded the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2024 in the Secondary Education category. This award recognizes exceptional educational tools that support teaching and learning as schools adapt to the new academic year.
With more than 7.5 million U.S. students requiring Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), the demand for special education teachers has reached a critical point. Around 65% of public schools report staffing shortages in this area, making it difficult to provide consistent and specialized instruction.
The K12 SUBS Program offers a solution by connecting schools with a network of fully licensed and certified substitute special education teachers. These educators are trained in K12’s online platforms and serve across multiple states, delivering vital support such as co-taught instruction, one-on-one sessions, and self-contained instruction. This ensures that students with disabilities continue receiving uninterrupted educational services despite staffing challenges.
“We’re proud to offer a dependable solution that ensures students with IEPs receive high-quality, consistent services without disruption,” said Jenny Kendall, Senior Director of Special Programs at Stride, Inc.
With a focus on flexible, individualized education experiences, Stride’s K12-powered schools continue to provide award-winning curricula and state-certified teachers to students across the nation.
