[Trainer-talk] For trainers in agencies: Accessible Scheduling Solutions?

[Terrence VanEttinger]

I've thought something somewhat similar to that could be doable, though I've envisioned it with the instructional areas along the top, periods along the left & students in the coordinates; it's basically the same general structure as the paper system we have, and there's only one instructor for each area.

the program manager has created an excel spread sheet with the class period down one side, and the students name across the top, and in the cordinent say for joe smith first hour he types in the class, and instructor, if it is a class that has multiple instructors.
we schedule in a group meeting, and the sighted staff members have a copy of the blank spread sheet, and hand write information in with pencil. I tend to keep a slate and stylus with me, and as I get someone in my class I write it down for myself, joe smith, 2nd hour...
 If i forget, or am not present in the scheduling meeting, which happens sometimes, I refer to the spread sheet on our shared network drive. It does take a little bit of time to sort through and pick out my own schedule, but it's accessible to me.
