Set a teacher's availability and daily class cap
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 8 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to set a teacher's availability and daily class cap
- 1Click Schedule under Learning in the sidebar
- 2Above the grid, click Teachers — one column per teacher, for the day picked in the day dropdown
- 3Open the 'Edit availability…' dropdown and pick the teacher — the Availability dialog opens
- 4Set 'Max classes per day' (advisory — the scheduler warns past it; blank = no cap)
- 5Pick a brush (Unavailable or Prefer not) and drag over the grid where the teacher can't, or would rather not, be scheduled
- 6Pick Erase and drag back over any cell painted by mistake
- 7Click Save availability — a 'Schedule health' bar reports any painted window that clashes with a class the teacher already teaches
- 8Click Check schedule in that bar to list the findings: (hard) for Unavailable — a drop there stops and asks first — and (advisory) for Prefer not, which never stops a drop; the same windows also rank substitutes in the sub packet
