“Partnering with Zen Educate has been helpful to Progeny Academy's infrastructure in that daily operations and instruction can continue with minimal interruptions. It is challenging to attempt to cover staffing needs on short notice or for an extensive amount of time. Zen Educate and the team are responsive to the needs of a school and work diligently to provide staff support that aligns with our school community. We appreciate working with Zen and look forward to doing so in the future.”

Nicole Nelson · Director & Co-Founder · Progeny Academy

School District Special Education Program Supervisor

““Our coverage nightmares turned into a dream when we changed to Zen Educate's responsive, simple, and streamlined platform. You have to see it to believe it!””

Charter School Network Principal

““From finding substitutes who meet our diverse needs to filling vacancies we had posted for months, we can always rely on the Zen team to come through. In the past, staff and administrators often had to step in to cover classrooms, pulling them away from their important responsibilities. Now, when I receive a text or email that a staff member will be out for the day, I no longer have to scramble to find coverage. I know I can rely on Zen."”

Christyna S. · Assistant Principal · LIFE Prep

Beyond the technology, having an account manager who is so responsive to our specific requirements gives us total peace of mind, particularly when staffing our most specialized classrooms. This partnership allows our teachers to stay focused on instruction, confident that a reliable system and a dedicated team are backing them up every morning.”

Brian Biggs · Executive Director of Special Education · Albany Unified School District

“As a charter school serving a student population primarily consisting of students receiving Special Education services, we have unique and specialized staffing needs. The team at Zen Educate has taken the time to understand those needs, listen to our feedback, and connect us with candidates who possess the skills and experience necessary to support our students effectively. Their commitment to understanding our school and responding to our needs has made them a valued staffing partner.”

They are incredibly responsive and reliable, and I have confidence that our staffing needs will be met on time, even when I have to make last minute requests.
