Timetabling the School Curriculum

www.monitortimetabling.com

MONITOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES provides advice to secondary schools on the most effective way to realise their curricular aims through a cost effective timetable.

Its main activity is the provision of one and two day courses on the planning and construction of secondary school timetables at venues through out England & Wales. The one day course deals with the detailed planning and costing of curriculum models while the second day goes on to simulate the construction of the timetable for a hypothetical school. The courses are practical in nature being based on the presenter’s experience of timetabling a large secondary school. The courses are not dependent on any medium but deal with the general principles that should be followed whatever the means of delivery. Although they are not computer based, teachers wishing to use computer packages are advised to attend our courses before embarking on software training.

These courses are aimed at:

• new timetablers looking for induction into the process.

• experienced timetablers looking for reassurance and new ideas.

• senior managers wanting to understand issues in timetabling.

• aspiring managers looking for career development.

Evaluation returns from course members show overwhelming satisfaction. Details of these courses, the current programme and unsolicited comments from course members can be found on the website.

These courses can also be delivered as in-school courses for individual schools or groups of schools.

MONITOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES can also help schools construct their own timetables.

MONITOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES has been delivering this service since 1993 and has dealt with teachers from half the schools in England & Wales many of which see MONITOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES as their first choice of such training whether for induction of a timetabling manager or career development.

MONITOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES is the trading name for David Griffiths, an educational consultant, who delivers the services. He taught for 30 years in secondary schools, in the UK and abroad, during which time he had over 10 years’ experience of constructing timetables. Since then he has had a further 15 years of delivering training in timetable techniques.
