Overall Satisfaction with Frontline Absence Management (formerly Aesop)
Aesop is used to assign substitute teachers for teachers when they are absent. When a teacher needs to be absent due to illness or other obligations including professional responsibilities such as a field trip or professional development, teachers use AESOP to register their absence so a substitute can be found. AESOP is used for all teachers in my district. This program addresses the problem of finding substitute teachers for inevitable absences.
- Allows teachers to mark themselves absent 24/7: this is a plus because you don't have to worry about the message being lost by a service. You can also procure a substitute in advance if you know you'll be out for a professional training or field trip.
- You can upload your lesson plans or email your substitute so the substitute is prepared to teach your classes.
- You can see a history of absences so you can cross-reference your leave allotments with your history on AESOP.
- Teachers cannot cancel their own absence. We have to ask the office staff to do so. This is irritating when an absence must be canceled (Due to a canceled professional development, for example).
- Sometimes absences go unfilled. It would be great if AESOP could have a roster of qualified substitutes to cover absences.
- You cannot assign your absence to a particular substitute if you know he or she is available and a good fit for your absence.
- Filled absences for teachers.
- Manage employee attendance balances.
- Attempted to match best subs with the best fit opportunities for them.
