From its headquarters in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Source4Teachers serves the education staffing needs of more than 220 school districts throughout the United States. In 2014, Source4Teachers created the Impact Award, which was implemented to honor the contributions of its substitute teachers. Meyer Weintraub was the inaugural recipient.
The 2016 award was given to Bridgeport, Connecticut-based educator Stacy-Ann Johnson, who has served as a substitute for Bridgeport Public Schools on a number of occasions since 2014.
Awarded on Substitute Educators Day, which was created by the National Education Association to recognize the contributions of substitute teachers across the United States, the Impact Award praised Johnson as an educator who serves as a good example to other substitute teachers.
During her tenure with Source4Teachers, she has worked in a substitute role in 22 of the 38 schools overseen by Bridgeport Public Schools, reaching a total of 93 worked days during the award period.
In addition to considering the number of days the substitute has worked, the Impact Award is granted based on feedback from school districts and in recognition for going beyond the existing standards for substitute teaching.
