Skeme
Read full descriptionHide 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 โข Schedule one lesson, the rest of the topic, or your whole teaching order across topics โข See exactly which lesson lands in which period before you commit to it โข Topics can be reordered so that every class group follows its own Teaching Order WHEN PLANS CHANGE โ AND THEY ALWAYS DO โข Bump a sequence forward or back, a slot at a time โข Lock a period that cannot move โ a test, an assembly, a lesson already taught โ and the bump goes round it โข Mark a day as non-teaching and the lessons shift themselves โข Homework dates and preparation tasks follow the lesson, not the calendar YOUR DAY, ON ONE SCREEN โข Every lesson, event and task for today, in order โข Four ways to look at it: day, week, class group and schedule โข One-week or two-week schedules, with A and B days โข Homeroom, break and lunch named the way your school names them PLAN ONCE, REUSE FOR YEARS โข A proper curriculum: courses, topics and lessons, with rich-text plans and outcomes โข The same lesson works in any period, any class group, any academic year โข Preparation checklists become tasks the moment the lesson is scheduled HOMEWORK THAT KEEPS UP โข Set homework on a lesson once โ every class that reaches that lesson gets it โข Set and due dates both attach to lessons rather than calendar dates, so each group's dates arrange themselves around their own schedule โข 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 โข Terminology for the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Hungary, India, Russia and international schools โข Homeroom or tutor time or roll call; semester or term; Grade 9 or Year 9 โข Available in 31 languages NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. NO SIGN-UP. โข There is nothing to sign up for and no email address to give โข Your planning syncs privately between your own iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud โข Export any curriculum or whole academic year to a file, at any time SHARE YOUR PLANNING WITH COLLEAGUES โข Export a course, send the file, and a colleague imports it โข 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.
