As school districts nationwide continue to navigate educator shortages, international hiring has emerged as a vital strategy for securing top-tier talent. However, recruiting from abroad introduces a unique set of logistical, legal, and cultural challenges for education professionals.
Join us for an insightful webinar designed specifically for education leaders looking to build or refine their international hiring pipelines. We will walk through the end-to-end journey of global recruitment—from the initial interview to the critical first years of employment. You will learn how to seamlessly transition international educators into your district, ensuring they feel supported, compliant, and ready to thrive in their new classrooms.

Educational institutions have a legal obligation to ensure hiring practices are free from unlawful bias. This session focuses on identifying risk factors within recruitment and selection processes and implementing structured safeguards that promote fair and consistent outcomes. Topics include conducting risk-based audits of hiring procedures, using objective selection criteria, improving recordkeeping and equipping hiring teams to recognize and mitigate bias. The result is a hiring system that is transparent, compliant and positioned to withstand scrutiny while strengthening organizational effectiveness.

In K–12, HR has always been about people. But the way that work gets done is changing.
Today’s HR teams are navigating staffing shortages, increasing complexity and rising expectations from employees, all while trying to stay focused on supporting those employees. In this conversation, district HR leaders will share how they’re evolving their approach by finding ways to reduce administrative burden, improve day-to-day operations and create more consistent, supportive experiences for staff. We’ll explore how thoughtful use of technology can help streamline processes like hiring, onboarding and absence management. Not to replace the human side of HR, but to make more space for it.
Join us for a practical discussion on how districts are balancing efficiency with empathy and what it really takes to build a more connected, people-first HR function.
Thursday, June 4 | 1:00pm - 2:00pm CST
What do 18,000 substitute teachers across the U.S. really think about working in your district? In this data-driven session, Red Rover and The Substitute Management Advisory Council unpack findings from the 2026 National Substitute Teacher Survey. You’ll gain critical insights that challenge common assumptions and highlight new opportunities for K-12 HR leaders.
During the session we’ll break down the realities of today’s substitute workforce including who they are, what motivates them, and why most aren’t pursuing full-time teaching roles. We’ll also uncover critical gaps in training and support, explore what’s driving stronger-than-expected retention, and learn how regional differences should shape your recruitment and engagement strategies.
If your district is struggling to fill absences, retain quality subs or you just want to provide a better experience for guest teachers, this session will give you the clarity and the data you need to adapt and improve.
