How to fill in a school timetable template

  1. Set your periods. Edit the times in the first column and add or remove periods and breaks to match your bell schedule.
  2. List lessons per week. For each class, write how many periods each subject needs, e.g. English 6, Maths 6, Science 4. The total must equal your periods per week.
  3. Place the hardest subjects first. Start with teachers who teach several classes or come in on certain days only, then fill the rest.
  4. Check for clashes. Use the master timetable template to make sure no teacher is in two classes in the same period.
  5. Make teacher timetables. Copy each teacher's lessons into the teacher template so everyone knows their week.

Too many classes for a template?

Templates work well for a single class. Once teachers are shared across classes, every change has to be re-checked by hand. Academic Scheduler blocks teacher clashes while you build, counts lessons per subject, creates every teacher's timetable automatically, and exports to PDF and Excel.
