AESOP TIPS & TRICKS!

PREFERRED AND EXCLUDED SUB LISTS

You have the option to create preferred sub lists in AESOP to help insure that the right sub is given advance notice of an absence you may be submitting.  

Or, maybe there is a substitute that is not a good fit for your classroom. You can also create an Excluded Substitute List to insure that the substitutes you choose to exclude are not able to see or pick up a position for you.

CREATING A PREFERRED SUBSTITUTE LIST

ABSENCE FEEDBACK

Along with your preferred sub list, another great tool is Absence Feedback!  You can leave feedback for how a substitute performed in your classroom by answering a few short questions and giving them a "starred" rating.  This feature helps you and your administrator track those subs that did an outstanding job and those that did not work out as well.  Your administrator can view your feedback but the substitute will not be able to see it.
