Walkthrough
Filter to your real availability
Filter by when (Today, Tomorrow, This week, Next 7 days), by subject and grade level, by school, and by assignment length — single day or longer.
Read the whole posting before you commit
Check the school and travel time, the start and end times, the subject and grade, whether it is a single day or a run of days, and whether a lesson plan is attached. Some postings leave fields such as subject, grade or teacher blank; that is allowed, so plan to ask the school office on arrival rather than assuming.
Accept it
Accepting is a commitment, not an expression of interest — the school stops looking for anyone else the moment you accept.

The assignment now appears with its full details. If it is not there, it did not go through.
Take me thereWorth knowing
- Your first assignment at a new school will take longer than you think — parking, office check-in, finding the room. Add twenty minutes.
- A longer assignment can give you steadier work than chasing single days, if your week allows it.
- If you can see a job but cannot accept it, a setup step is probably still open — documents, background clearance, or your employment contract not yet signed. Your Dashboard shows which one.
What goes wrong
- Accepting two assignments on the same morning. Check My Schedule before accepting anything.
- Accepting a job across the county at 7:00am in winter. Travel time is your problem once you accept.
