Tip of the Week: You Can Book Me!!!

Hours...I have spent countless hours over the past 13 years scheduling and rescheduling classroom counseling lessons. At the end of last school year, my SMART Board was replaced by a brand new SMART Panel. Now, I consider myself pretty tech savvy but this was a whole new beast. A former colleague who is now a district tech guru offered some training. She sent me a link called, "You Can Book Me," to schedule a time for her to come to my building. Essentially, this site allows for other people to schedule time with you when it is convenient for them and when your schedule allows. Brilliant!!! 

I instantly started thinking of how I could use this awesome program and classroom counseling lessons came to mind. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! I cannot express how wonderful it is to have this task off my plate!! I simply make sure that times that I cannot have lessons like meetings, days off, half days, and other things I cannot miss are on my Outlook calendar. You Can Book Me will only show the times that are available per your parameters (start and end of the school day, length of lessons, days of the week lessons will be, etc.). I send an email 2 weeks before the following month for teachers to schedule their lessons. Not only does this release me from the daunting task of scheduling 189 lessons while avoiding everyone's' specials, intervention, lunch and recess, assemblies, days off, and the countless other obligations, it gives the teachers to flexibility to schedule around their classroom's schedules and needs. I highly recommend giving You Can Book Me a shot! I currently use the free version and it has been working great for me. There is a paid version that has more features but so far I haven't had the need for the extra features.

I am always looking for ways to work smarter not harder, so if you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them. 

If you try You Can Book Me, tell me what you think!

I will have free resources along with paid resources that I spend a large amount of time working on. I am working on getting all of the resources I have shared throughout the years up on my TpT store.  If you see something on this blog and not on my TpT store, please comment below so I can make sure to get everything that people would like to have.  Thank you!!

Weekly Planner

Over the years, I have searched for a weekly planner that suited my needs. I have been unsuccessful so in my spare time 😂, I created one. I wanted one that had 15 minute increments and only Monday-Friday. The blank space under each day of the week is to write in the date. I use an 8.5in x 11in Arc Notebook System. I love this system because I am able to move pages around as I see fit. I also purchased the Arc System desktop puncher to be able to add pages. For the monthly dividers, I printed the months on card stock (see below) and used adhesive monthly tabs. I created dividers for Weekly Schedule, Counseling Lessons, and Notes.

If you would like to use these pages and other resources that I have created, please visit my TpT store.
