Best case scenario your teachers in each grade level plan together, so often times you can use another teacher’s response that is in the same grade level if you still haven’t received a response. I try to give them a reasonable amount of time to get their schedule to me, but we can’t wait forever, so you may have to track them down. I always tell them first come first serve :) It can be challenging to get teachers to respond promptly to scheduling requests because often times they don’t have their schedule completed yet, so we definitely have to be patient. Teachers that have a hard time with their students leaving the class (as they should :) get their requests in ASAP! However, I found that it was far easier to schedule if the teachers just told me their preferred times. In the past I sent out a letter to each teacher at the beginning of the year requesting preferred times as well as times that absolutely didn’t work or asked for a copy of their schedule. So for scheduling purposes you can sort by grade level so you can quickly see how many students are in each grade. One of the best features of this caseload management page is that the information is sortable by each header. In the past I used Excel to do this, but now I use the caseload management page in SLP Toolkit. The most important things to include are: IEP/MET dates, service time, eligibility category, treatment area, grade and teacher. I also use it as a checklist when completing progress reports, and it’s a huge help with scheduling. This helps me to stay on top of meetings and quickly identify which class the student is in when I need to call for them. But the good news is it doesn’t have to be! We are excited to announce that we have added a scheduling feature to SLP Toolkit!

How to schedule with less headache: Step 1: Gather your caseload information and organize it.Īt the beginning of the school year I make a spreadsheet at a glance with all of the demographics that I need to reference for all of the students on my caseload. Oh scheduling…you either like it or you hate it…and even if you like it you don’t have time for it! The size of our caseloads and the strict restrictions of when you can and can’t pull a student make scheduling a huge challenge. LOVE this scheduler!
