Stride Teachers

Operated by Stride (formerly K12), the service supplies certified teachers across a range of subjects and grade levels to supplement school staffing. Placements can be arranged on a flexible basis, including remote instruction delivered via video conferencing, in-person classroom coverage, and longer-term assignments for vacancies that schools have been unable to fill through standard recruitment channels.

The service is positioned as a response to ongoing teacher shortages affecting K-12 education. Schools and districts engage the service to cover gaps in specific subject areas, manage absences, or provide instruction in specialised topics where local hiring is difficult.

Teachers supplied through the programme are vetted and qualified to deliver curriculum content, with options for both synchronous online lessons and physical classroom presence. The arrangement allows institutions to scale teaching capacity according to demand without managing the full recruitment process internally.
