Calling all secondary master schedulers! Join us for an engaging and informative workshop designed to enhance your scheduling skills. Whether you are a counselor, administrator, data clerk, or part of a scheduling team, this workshop is for you. We will explore three methods for scheduling students - manual, combination, and MSALGO (Automated Scheduling) - using the ASCENDER software. Make sure to bring your district's master schedule, in whatever format it may be (white board, spreadsheet, etc.), for a hands-on learning experience. Our team at Region 13 will be joined by master schedulers from other districts, creating a collaborative learning environment that will benefit everyone. By the end of the day, you will know how to run and review reports and run a scheduling load, among many other scheduling strategies and techniques. Don't miss out on this opportunity to maximize your master scheduling skills and ensure a successful scheduling process for your school!
