Navigation:  Modules > Break Supervision Timetable > Introduction

In many schools students must also be supervised during the breaks. This often unpopular work must be shared fairly among the available teachers. It must be borne in mind that breaks can be of different lengths, that not all teachers may be drawn on as frequently as others and only at those times when they are at school and scheduled for teaching. Scheduling break supervision is therefore an integral part of timetable scheduling.

 

The status of individual rooms and corridors must also be included in scheduling, particularly for large schools. It can be difficult - even unreasonable - to have to supervise a break in a corridor in the west wing of a school following a lesson in the east wing. The ‘Break Supervision’ module allows you to take all this into consideration and thereby achieve perfect supervision planning.

 

The ‘Break Supervision’ module is designed for break supervision to be scheduled after the timetable has been completed. The following chapter takes you through the steps necessary for scheduling break supervision: from the preparatory master data input and the actual scheduling through to the publication of the supervision in the timetable, as a printed report or on the Internet.

 

The examples contained in this chapter can best be followed using the Demo6.gpn file. The input required for the ‘Break Supervision’ module has already been made in this file.
