Elementary Scheduling Academy
Scheduling is a critical factor that drives student achievement. Join DMGroup's Elementary Scheduling Academy to learn how to build strategic, student-focused school schedules in a fraction of the time.
The Elementary Scheduling Academy is a hands-on, cohort-based workshop designed to help district and school leaders build better elementary schedules quickly and easily.
Using DMSchedules for Elementary Schools scheduling software and guided by our scheduling experts, you will apply scheduling best practices to craft highly effective and easily customizable strategic elementary schedules.
The Academy is ideal for:
New principals preparing schedules for the first time
Principals looking to learn more about scheduling best practices
Schedulers seeking new approaches to solve scheduling challenges
District leaders looking to align instructional guidelines and practices while also learning how to staff efficiently and effectively
How it Works
We use our field-tested approach to build best-in-class elementary school schedules based on decades of experience with school leaders nationwide.
Critical conversations: Participants will develop a shared understanding of how time should be used in their schools and establish a coherent and transparent approach to building school schedules.
Intensive hands-on work: We believe that learning by doing is the best way to learn. Using DMSchedules, each participant will build their own school schedule. District leaders will partner with their principals to create scheduling strategies that accommodate the needs of all students.
DMSchedules for Elementary Schools License: Each participating school will be issued a 1-year license with full access to DMSchedules for Elementary Schools scheduling software at no extra charge.
Peer network: The academy is designed to engage participants in discussion and share ideas across districts and schools. You will meet other like-minded district leaders and school administrators with whom to share challenges and lessons learned.
