Access to FRONTLINE (Formerly AESOP)

We utilize an automated system that greatly simplifies and streamlines the process of finding and managing substitute teaching jobs. This system, called Frontline (formerly Aesop), can be used both by telephone and the internet to assist substitute teachers with locating jobs in our district.  The system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Substitute teachers new to our district will be entered into the substitute management system by the substitute coordinator who works in the Human Resources Department.

There are three methods for making jobs available to substitute teachers:

1. Substitute teachers can view upcoming and past assignments, accept available jobs, change personal settings, update their calendars, and personalize their available call times by visiting the substitute management system on the internet https://app.frontlineeducation.com/.  If the regular teacher has uploaded lesson plans on the internet, the substitute teacher will be able to view them online once the job is accepted.

2. Substitute teachers may also access the substitute management system by way of a toll-free, automated voice instruction menu at 1-800-942-3767.  Here, substitute teachers can proactively search for jobs and manage existing jobs.  We recommend that substitute teachers call in to check the computer recording of their names by pressing Option 4.

To access the substitute management system, the substitute teacher will need to enter their:

ID (phone number)

Pin Number (last four digits of SSN or Assigned Numeric Pin)

To access the substitute management system online

• Select the option to sign in with your organization

• You will prompted to enter your BUSD email address to log in

• Please note: access to your berkeley.net email account is required to access Frontline using this method

3. The substitute management system will also make phone calls to substitute teachers to offer jobs.  The standard call times when the system may call for substitutes are:  6:00 am – 11:59 am in the morning, and 12:00 pm – 10:00 pm in the evening. Substitutes have the option to turn off automated calling or modify call times by updating their accounts online.

When the substitute teacher accepts a job, the system will issue a confirmation number. 

Transactions are not complete until the substitute management system supplies a confirmation number. 

Substitute teachers who have questions regarding the use of the substitute management system may contact the substitute coordinator for assistance at (510) 898-9086 or paisleydews@berkeley.net.
