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.

A provider of qualified substitute teachers, Source4Teachers operates out of Cherry Hill, New Jersey and provides educators to over 220 United States school districts. Additionally, Source4Teachers supports One Warm Coat (OWC), which aims to provide all of those in need with a warm coat.

OWC operates several programs to support its efforts, including its Coast to Coast Challenge, which calls on businesses that operate multiple locations to hold friendly competitive coat drives across all of their offices. Operating in much the same way as OWC’s traditional coat drives, the Challenge provides additional incentive to take part via the competitive aspect.

Upon signing up for the Challenge, a company receives detailed instructions on how to register each of its offices and implement the challenge, alongside coat drive kits for each office. Further, OWC provides resources to promote the competitive aspect of the Challenge, including a sample email and press release to introduce the concept and instructions for creating weekly leaderboards that companies can use to determine which office wins and the total impact made via the campaign.

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.
