"Can it Really be that Easy?" - An Overview of the Potential of Scheduling Programs with Stephen Lyle

Most student information systems present a scheduling solution but is there a crucial distinction between a schedule BUILD and a schedule LOAD that is keeping you from saving staff hours (and headaches) as well as providing a fully optimized experience for students and teachers.

On Friday I discussed the intricacies of scheduling with SIS Expert, Stephen Lyle:




Some of what we covered:
  • How schedule BUILD (rather than just schedule load) can make your schedulers' (and teachers') lives easier

  • How to use static and dynamic teaming in scheduling

  • Why "proximity matters" in scheduling, or "How to keep your floating teachers from pulling their hamstrings running from one end of the building to the other"

  • "I just can't handle the Olsen twins being in my class": Creating teacher/student, student-student rules for happier students (and teachers!)
Email me if you're interested in getting the transcript of this conversation!
