Walkthrough

1
Start on Dashboard
Sidebar → Dashboard

This is your home base. It shows what needs your attention right now — unfinished setup steps, assignments coming up, and anything blocking you from accepting work.

2
Browse Jobs is where the work is
Sidebar → Browse Jobs

Every open assignment you are eligible for. Filters across the top narrow by date range, subject, grade level, school and assignment length.

3
My Schedule is what you already said yes to
Sidebar → My Schedule

Accepted assignments live here with their date, school, teacher and times. Check it the night before — it is the screen that tells you where to be in the morning.

4
Districts & clearance explains what is blocking you
Sidebar → Districts & clearance

If jobs are not showing, this screen usually says why: your background clearance is not approved yet, or a district is outside the districts you are placed in.

Take me there
5
Payments is your money
Sidebar → Payments

Every assignment you have worked, what it paid, and where each payment is in the process. Filter by date range or status.

Worth knowing
  • The first week, ignore everything except Dashboard, Browse Jobs and My Schedule. The rest keeps.
  • On a phone the sidebar collapses into the menu button in the top-left corner.
What goes wrong
  • Do not wait for a school to contact you. Nobody calls you — assignments are accepted by you, in Browse Jobs, first come first served.
