About

Skeme

Read full description

Skeme puts your curriculum onto your schedule โ€” and moves it for you when plans change. Made by a teacher, for teachers. Plan a topic once. Skeme schedules its lessons across the right periods, in the right order, for every class you teach. When a lesson cannot happen โ€” a field trip, a PD day, a closure โ€” Skeme bumps the rest of the sequence along, and the homework and preparation move with it. SCHEDULING THAT DOES ITSELF โ€ข Schedule one lesson, the rest of the topic, or your whole teaching order across topics โ€ข See exactly which lesson lands in which period before you commit to it โ€ข Topics can be reordered so that every class group follows its own Teaching Order WHEN PLANS CHANGE โ€” AND THEY ALWAYS DO โ€ข Bump a sequence forward or back, a slot at a time โ€ข Lock a period that cannot move โ€” a test, an assembly, a lesson already taught โ€” and the bump goes round it โ€ข Mark a day as non-teaching and the lessons shift themselves โ€ข Homework dates and preparation tasks follow the lesson, not the calendar YOUR DAY, ON ONE SCREEN โ€ข Every lesson, event and task for today, in order โ€ข Four ways to look at it: day, week, class group and schedule โ€ข One-week or two-week schedules, with A and B days โ€ข Homeroom, break and lunch named the way your school names them PLAN ONCE, REUSE FOR YEARS โ€ข A proper curriculum: courses, topics and lessons, with rich-text plans and outcomes โ€ข The same lesson works in any period, any class group, any academic year โ€ข Preparation checklists become tasks the moment the lesson is scheduled HOMEWORK THAT KEEPS UP โ€ข Set homework on a lesson once โ€” every class that reaches that lesson gets it โ€ข Set and due dates both attach to lessons rather than calendar dates, so each group's dates arrange themselves around their own schedule โ€ข The Class Planner grid shows every group side by side: what is set, what is due, what is next YOUR SCHOOL'S WORDS, YOUR SCHOOL'S YEAR โ€ข Terminology for the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Hungary, India, Russia and international schools โ€ข Homeroom or tutor time or roll call; semester or term; Grade 9 or Year 9 โ€ข Available in 31 languages NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. NO SIGN-UP. โ€ข There is nothing to sign up for and no email address to give โ€ข Your planning syncs privately between your own iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud โ€ข Export any curriculum or whole academic year to a file, at any time SHARE YOUR PLANNING WITH COLLEAGUES โ€ข Export a course, send the file, and a colleague imports it โ€ข Re-importing a revised scheme updates it rather than duplicating it โ€” and never deletes anything you added yourself ONE SUBSCRIPTION, THE WHOLE APP Skeme has one subscription, with everything included. Setting up your school year is free. Then try everything in Skeme free for 14 days โ€” no subscription or payment details required, and nothing to cancel. After the trial, choose a yearly or monthly subscription to keep planning and editing. The App Store shows your local price before you subscribe. Cancel any time. If your trial or subscription ends, nothing is locked away. Your planner stays fully readable and everything stays exportable.
