We are using this for homeschool. How would you suggest we use the class feature when a single class falls on different times each day? For example, English is Mondays at 9:00, Tuesdays at 12:00, Wednesdays at 10:00, Thursdays at 9:30, and Fridays at 10:45.
There are a few things you can do: 1. Duplicate the class multiple times and change the "Time of Day". Then when you add students and/or lessons to a class, make sure to "tag" all the classes. If you aren't constantly updating the information in the class pages then this works out fine. If you are constantly changing the information in the class pages and/or plan to share the pages with your students, then you can duplicate the class page as before, but add a "Synced Block" inside the page and put all of your resources in there. Then add the synced block to each class page. Whenever you change something in one block, then it will affect all of the synced blocks in all the classes. 2. Keep the same class and just add multiple days, and change the "date" property to show say something like "9 Mon, 12 Tues". It will be more ugly but you will only have one version of the class page. The thing with Notion anyway is having it work for YOU. You will always be customizing everything to suite your particular situation.
@@notion4teachers A video on this would be nice. Just purchased the whole package and this is a problem for me as well as in my country, we tend to have the same class twice a week at different times......
@@Lordofthefield I could definitely make a video on this in the future! However, the fix is really quite simple. As I mentioned above: 1. For your single class that falls on different times each day, create multiple "classes", one for each day and time. 2. Title it something like "Class 1-Mon" "Class 1-Tues" 3. Create a "Synced Block" for all of the class information that is the same across the multiple classes 4. Whenever you create a "lesson" or "student", tag them to all of the classes they attend each week. This should work fine.
Hey, what's the difference between this Notion template and "Notion4Teachers"? Second: I have group lessons (class) and single lessons. The group lessons are not on a weekly basis, but on specific dates that I schedule with the university secretary. Can I still use your template for this? Also, regarding the attendance tracker: I need to track attendance per lesson, not per day. If a student was absent for a specific lesson, I also need to be able to note whether they were excused, and if so, whether this happened within or outside of 24 hours before the lesson, or if they were entirely unexcused.
Hey Daniel 1. Notion4Teachers is my channel and website name. The template demonstration in this video is for the flagship Notion Template of "Notion4Teachers". 2. Yes you can. The template works especially well for this kind of situation (classes and scheduled lessons). 3. As for the attendance, you don't need to take attendance each day. Whenever a student attends or does not attend a lesson, you can use the attendance tracker as is.
Hi Milo.. thanks for creating these amazing templates. Really useful. What is the difference between the 'Ultimate Teacher Planner' and the 'Private Tutor' template ?
Sorry for the late reply Kavi! I received your email. The Teacher Planner is more for classroom teaching and managing a large number of students. Private Tutor dashboard if for planning lessons for individual students or small groups, along with invoicing.
Hi again Milo, Just seen the release of the new Version very existed to download and have a look, is it as simple as copy and pasting data across to the new version? I have spent the last two weeks working on creating a lot of content and don't want to have to start from scratch. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hey Fez, yes for the most part you can just copy and paste things from one database to another. You can also select a bunch of database entries and then click "Move to" and select the new database in the new Teacher Planner.
my teacher planner doesnt look like this? i just purchased but cant see the calendar and projects side bars on mine. i thought that it would be like the same without the content.
Hey you can check the product page here and it will give you a full rundown of what it is and what's included: www.notion4teachers.com/premium-notion-templates/professional-development-pack-for-educators
After downloading the template, you should two options: an "old" one which is the one in the video, and the newest updated one without notebooks and bookmark tracker. They have been slimmed down in the new one.
I will be adding the grades tracker to the Ultimate Teacher Planner soon. But for now you can just add it manually - I have a video showing you how to make one :)
Another question: Is there a way to edit the different templates (notes, lessons etc.)? I work in a different language and don’t want to change the headlines etc. every time I open a new site.
Yes! If you go to any one of the database views for lessons, notes, etc. go to the TOP-RIGHT of the database view and there is a blue arrow... Click that and you will see all the database templates. There is one already set to DEFAULT. Click that and go to "edit template". Then you can change it however you like or even create your own database templates. Hope this helps!
Oh this hagwon campus I work at has a few thousand students, I just personally teach 150. That's not many compared to other teachers. I teach the private classes for specialized students. High school would definitely be more wild!

This is helpful. Thanks. I have your EMS template. Is there an upgrade I can do for a discount?

Glad you liked it! Let me know if you have any questions.

Just recently I added a new/upgraded version. You still have access to the old version, the one in the video. But now you can choose between both.
What is the professional development pack? What's included in it?
Hey you can check the product page here and it will give you a full rundown of what it is and what's included: www.notion4teachers.com/premium-notion-templates/professional-development-pack-for-educators
I just downloaded this template but my Notes section doesn't have Notebooks or Topics. I also don't have a Bookmark tracker.
After downloading the template, you should two options: an "old" one which is the one in the video, and the newest updated one without notebooks and bookmark tracker. They have been slimmed down in the new one.
How do I include the student grade tracker in that template ?
I will be adding the grades tracker to the Ultimate Teacher Planner soon. But for now you can just add it manually - I have a video showing you how to make one :)
Thank you ! How can I add it manually if I buy the ultimate template ?

I'm so curious what kind of school you work at that you only have 150ish students. I'm at a high school in Gyeonggi and I have at least 450 students 😭
Oh this hagwon campus I work at has a few thousand students, I just personally teach 150. That's not many compared to other teachers. I teach the private classes for specialized students. High school would definitely be more wild!
How do you track attendance for a student in multiple classes on the same day if he attends one class but misses the next one?
You could just add another "Attendance Day" for the same day and then tag the student again. This should work fine :)
