Running academics well — a weekly checklist
A simple start-of-session, weekly and exam-time checklist for running timetable, homework, syllabus and exams in Pathshala.
Institutes that get the most from Pathshala's Academics do a little every day rather than a lot at exam time. Use these lists as a routine.
#At the start of the session
- Add or check your Classes, Sections and Subjects — see Classes, sections and subjects.
- Promote students to the new session — see Students.
- On the Staff screen, give every teacher their classes and subjects. Teacher screens open on their own classes only after this.
- Timetable › Day structure: add every period and break.
- Fill the Timetable grid for each class, with a teacher on every cell. Check Coverage for empty periods.
- Type the Syllabus for every class and subject (paste the chapter list).
- Set the Grading scale before the first exam.
#Every day (teachers)
- Mark the attendance register — see Student attendance.
- Set homework on Homework and attach worksheets from Documents.
- Tick off the syllabus chapter you finished.
- Set lesson plans to Taught or Did not happen.
#Every week (office)
- Open Homework › Not done and follow up with class teachers.
- Check Syllabus portion covered per class.
- Record Cover for any teacher who will be away next week.
- Add new questions to the Question bank (Pro).
#At exam time
- Create the exam, add every paper with date, time and "out of".
- Publish the datesheet and Send it to families.
- Print admit cards.
- Build question papers (Pro) and print them with and without answers.
- Teachers enter marks paper by paper; use Abs for absent children, never zero.
- Check the Exam report — wait until it no longer says Provisional.
- Show results, print report cards, then Tell families.

#Questions people ask
What should I set up first at the start of a session?
Classes, subjects, students, which classes each teacher has, the day structure, the timetable and the syllabus — in that order.
How often should teachers tick the syllabus?
The day they finish a chapter, so the portion covered is right before every exam.
When should results be shown to families?
After every paper is marked and checked. Show results, then use Tell families.
