As Georgia’s largest district, GCPS faced the same realities confronting districts nationwide:

• Persistent gaps in Math and Reading achievement
• Heightened needs among both general education and special education students
• Pressure to ensure that every intervention investment produces measurable academic gains

GCPS needed more than a vendor—they needed a partner who could:

• Deliver high-impact, Tier 2 tutoring aligned with district curriculum
• Demonstrate clear, documented growth in student proficiency
• Operate within an Outcomes-Based Contracting (OBC) model tied to measurable results

Aligned & Targeted Instruction

• Tutoring aligned to GCPS standards and instructional priorities
• Focused support in foundational literacy and numeracy skills
• Adapted for both general and special education students

High-Dosage, Relationship-Rich Support

• Recurring sessions embedded into the school day
• Consistent tutors to build trust, engagement, and continuity

Real-Time Progress Monitoring

• Frequent checks for understanding and growth
• Data shared with school leaders to adjust instruction quickly

The result: a tightly integrated intervention layer that amplified—not duplicated—GCPS’s existing MTSS/RTI efforts.

Mathematics Achievement

• 14–18 percentage point increases in proficiency across all grade levels served.

Reading Achievement

• 12–15 percentage point increases in proficiency in grades K, 1–7, and 9–10.

These gains represent real movement in student achievement, proving that high-impact tutoring can shift proficiency trajectories at scale.

Start with Clear, Shared Outcome Metrics

• Proficiency growth targets were defined at contract launch.
• Both GCPS and TOD had a common definition of success.

Use Real-Time Data to Drive Instruction

• Ongoing progress monitoring gave full visibility.
• Instructional strategies adjusted based on real data, not year-end surprises.

Link Service Delivery, Attendance, and Payment

• Funding tied directly to outcomes.
• Attendance, tutoring minutes, and growth metrics used to validate invoices.

Automated, Outcomes-Linked Billing

• Payments tied to verified attendance and outcomes.
• Invoices reflect actual service delivery and performance.

Integrated Attendance & Outcomes Verification

• Session logs, attendance, and achievement data are unified.
• District leaders gain a clear line of sight from tutoring minutes to growth.

This ensures districts don’t just hope for impact—they can verify it.

• Proven double-digit proficiency gains in Math and Reading.
• Scalable Tier 2 tutoring across schools and students.
• True outcomes-based partnership model.
• Integrated systems providing transparency and accountability.

Pine Springs Preparatory Academy is a multi-campus K–12 charter organization serving a diverse student population in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

As the school system expanded, leadership needed a scalable solution that would:

• Maintain high-quality classroom coverage across four campuses
• Support teacher and staff retention by reducing burnout related to chronic coverage gaps
• Free leaders from the daily burden of sourcing and managing substitutes

The organization sought a partner capable of providing professional, reliable substitute educators who could uphold instructional expectations and school culture.

Prior to partnering with Teachers On Demand®, Pine Springs Prep faced challenges common in many school systems:

• Inconsistent substitute availability, especially on high-need days
• Leaders spending excessive time arranging last-minute coverage
• Disruptions to student learning when substitutes were unfamiliar with routines and curriculum

With four campuses serving grades K–12, the school needed a centralized, predictable substitute solution capable of supporting long-term staffing plans.

1. Centralized, System-Level Management

• TOD managed recruiting, screening, onboarding, and deploying substitutes.
• Leaders gained a single, accountable partner rather than multiple substitute pools.

2. Quality and Fit, Not Just Availability

• Substitutes selected for professionalism, readiness, and alignment with school culture.
• Educators prioritized who could maintain lesson pacing and support classroom norms.

3. Consistency for Students and Staff

• Substitutes intentionally re-assigned to familiar campuses and grade bands.
• The role elevated from “day-of coverage” to trusted instructional support.

Since 2019, Pine Springs Prep has hired 16 substitute educators provided by Teachers On Demand® as permanent employees.

Better-Informed Hiring Decisions

• Leaders observed substitutes in real classrooms before offering full-time roles.
• Reduced hiring risk through extended, authentic evaluation.

Stronger Culture and Retention

• New hires already understood school culture, systems, and expectations.
• Smoother onboarding and greater likelihood of long-term success.

Continuity for Students and Families

• Familiar substitutes transitioning to permanent roles supports stability.
• Protects learning environment and relationships already built.

Stabilized Coverage Across Multiple Sites

• A single, performance-driven partner ensures consistent coverage.

Leadership Time Reallocated to Instruction

• Less time on emergency coverage means more time for coaching and planning.

Embedded Talent Pipeline

• 16 substitutes successfully transitioned to permanent school roles.

Elevated Standard for Substitute Instruction

• Substitutes positioned as professional educators, not babysitters.

• A reliable, professional substitute workforce
• A proven talent pipeline with permanent staff conversions
• A partnership mindset aligned to instructional and operational priorities

If your school system or district is:

• Managing multiple campuses and grade spans
• Seeking to stabilize substitute coverage
• Interested in building a sustainable pipeline of mission-aligned educators

Teachers On Demand® is ready to serve as your strategic partner. We help education leaders protect instructional time, support staff retention, and convert high-performing substitutes into long-term team members—all in service of better student outcomes.
