Some schools are not so interested in how many periods a teacher takes but in the proportion of the planned lessons taught.

 

You can enter the value corresponding to a teacher's full teaching commitment, i.e. 100%, in the field "Yearly value (100%) on the “Value calculation” tab under “Settings | Miscellaneous”. This value is only used when the “Yearly Values”box has been checked.

 

The lessons window now no longer displays the current yearly value - instead it displays the percentage of the current teaching compared with the yearly value.

 

You can easily see from the totals line whether a teacher is underemployed or overemployed.

 

 

Note: Totals line

You can display the totals line by right-clicking on the table heading in the lessons window.

 

 

Example: Yearly percentage factor

 

 

Teacher Newton achieves a yearly value of 1066.0 with the lessons he takes.

 

 

 

If you now specify a yearly value of e.g. 930, you will see that the total number of lessons for Newton is now 114.4. This means that he teaches 14.4 % more than called for by his full teaching commitment.

 

 

 

 

 

Part-time teachers

 

If you now enter the teaching commitment as a percentage in the "Target/year" field under "Master Data | Teachers" (a full-time teacher commitment corresonds to 100%), the "Actual-plan" entry (the difference between the actual and the desired value) will be updated.

 

In some Scandinavian countries it is usual to employ part-time teachers on the basis of a percentage of a full teaching commitment. The figure on the following page shows teacher Andersen defined as a part-time teacher with 20% commitment and teachers Gauss and Nobel with 50% commitments. The yearly percentage factor makes it possible to see at a glance what percentage of the target workload has already been met.
