Why schools need this module connected

Define who teaches what, build and publish timetables, handle substitutes, and plan lessons against the same calendar your exams and attendance use — so teachers spend time teaching, not chasing schedules.

Timetable chaos creates ripple effects across the whole school. Schoolyi connects teacher assignments, period grids, substitute coverage, and lesson planning in one workflow. Coordinators can auto-generate drafts, check feasibility, and publish confidently; teachers open one hub for their classes, materials, and weekly plans.

What you can run day to day

Schoolyi’s teaching & timetable module is built for the teams listed below — not as a standalone spreadsheet replacement, but as part of one calendar, roster, and role model.

  • Teacher staffing and class–subject assignments
  • Timetable editor with feasibility checks
  • Auto-generate and publish/unpublish period grids
  • Substitute teacher workflows
  • Curriculum grid — periods per class and subject
  • Weekly lesson plans linked to calendar
  • Study materials and digital resources by class
  • Teacher appraisals and evaluation cycles

Outcomes leadership cares about

When this area shares data with admissions, fees, exams, and reporting, coordinators stop reconciling exports every week.

  • Published timetables everyone can trust, with clear substitute handoffs
  • Teachers see their classes, subjects, and tasks in one place
  • Lesson plans stay tied to the real school calendar
  • Academic heads spot staffing gaps before they become crises

Who uses it

Typical users: Teachers, Timetable coordinators, Academic heads. Each role sees only the screens and actions scoped to their job.
