UI delivers:

  • Unique, end-to-end services in placing and supporting in-person teachers and tutors. We don’t just find staff for your school districts; we make sure they are successful, so that your students are successful. Our end-to-end services include recruiting, evaluating, hiring, screening, and onboarding candidates, as well as on-going payroll management and quality management (ie, on-going mentorship, coaching, and professional development of the educators that UI has placed).
  • We place instructors, tutors, aides and paraprofessionals for all subject areas, across all K12 grade levels, including Special Education.
  • Pathways to licensure and district employment, providing school districts with a pipeline of potential full-time teachers and staff.
  • Robust reporting capabilities, so school districts can track instructor activity and capture and analyze student learning outcomes.
  • In addition to instructor placement and tutoring services, we offer customized educational consulting, professional development programs, data analytics, and a wider range of teacher prep products.

UI customizes instructional solutions to each individual district’s needs. We set up a live or virtual meeting with district decision-makers, create a SOW based on stated needs, which is then approved by district leaders, the school board, and procurement. UI’s streamlined solution creation process is fast and effective.
