Widely recognized for its innovative business model, Source4Teachers trains and places substitute educators in vacant and long-term positions in K-12 schools on behalf of its hundreds of clients. In 2014, Source4Teachers created its Impact Award to acknowledge the commitment and contributions of its dedicated substitute teachers.

In 2016, Source4Teachers presented the Impact Award to Stacy-Ann Johnson, one of its substitutes who serves in the Bridgeport, Connecticut, school system. Ms. Johnson has worked in more than half of the Bridgeport system’s schools, where her focus involves teaching English language learners. Upon giving her the honor, administrators cited her devotion to her students and her consistent professionalism.

The first recipient of the Impact Award, retired Philadelphia teacher Meyer Weintraub, displayed similar dedication to his profession. He most frequently substituted in Bucks County, Pennsylvania’s Neshaminy district, often working with older autistic students. School officials praised not only Mr. Weintraub’s ability to teach and his exemplary record of service but also his commitment to mentoring students on vital life skills.

New Jersey-based staffing firm Source4Teachers trains and provides substitute teachers for hundreds of clients throughout the nation. Since its founding in 2000, the company has received multiple honors, including a ranking on Forbes’ list of the “Best Large Employers” for 2017. Source4Teachers CEO Kendley Davenport is also the recipient of a number of recent awards, such as a 2017 Philadelphia Future 50 Award from SmartCEO.

SmartCEO magazine’s award programs celebrate business leaders and achievements throughout the eastern region of the United States. The Future 50 Award, the magazine’s largest award, honors the area’s fastest-growing medium-sized companies. To be eligible for a Future 50 Award, a nominee needs to have achieved significant growth, in both employees and revenue, averaged over a period of three years. Each honoree receives a profile article in SmartCEO magazine and recognition at a formal awards gala.

The Philadelphia Future 50 Award recognized Kendley Davenport and his Cherry Hill, New Jersey, company as industry game-changers for their level of innovation and client satisfaction. According to Mr. Davenport, Source4Teachers has grown so much that it has outstripped the practices that might have worked out on a smaller scale. He also acknowledged the company’s consistently non-status-quo thinking for creating new models for even the most basic of tasks. He attributes part of the company’s rapid forward momentum to its enthusiastic embrace of emerging technologies.
