ABSTRACT:
Software utilizing a system and methodologies that allow cross-platform data transfer, either single user and/or networked access, for creating and maintaining an integrated classroom organizer using a computer. The user can create a year of detailed lesson plans. The user enters the number of pages of text(s), or quantified teaching block broken into percentage of completion, in a specified teaching period be it the entire year, semester, month, etc. The text(s) pages or percentage of a teaching task are allocated to designated teaching days previously identified in the calendar. The user can edit and determine whether the pre-scheduled number of text(s) pages, or percentage of a teaching task has been completed, by merely inputting the text(s) page or percentage completed. The difference between text(s) pages or percentage of task completed and the text(s) pages or percentage of task completion previously planned by user will match or not. If not, the software reallocates the difference and prompts user to adjust text(s) or teaching task progress. The software program is calendar driven and utilizes a relational database with calculations, scripts, and routines that allow the user to enter all elements required to create daily, weekly or monthly lesson plans; syllabi; seating charts; grades; attendance; progress reports; and student/parent letters. The software allows users to export and import software data to another computer. All data can be archived or copied to the next year for use and revision as deemed necessary by user.
