Teacher Workload Balancing — Fairness Built Into the Schedule
No teacher overburdened while another stays idle — that is Haneen’s founding rule. The timetable is built around a fair share of periods from the first placement, not patched afterward.
Why do manual timetables fail at fairness?
When a timetable is filled class by class, the last teachers get leftovers: scattered periods, first-or-last slots every day, burnt idle hours. Nobody spots the imbalance until after printing — when fixing means rebuilding.
How does Haneen balance workloads?
- • Periods are distributed evenly within each teacher’s qualifications and caps
- • Spread across days prevents punishing and empty days alike
- • Consecutive periods cluster when wanted instead of scattering
- • The workload report lists every teacher in numbers — truth, not promises
Frequently asked questions
How do I distribute teaching periods fairly?
Measure each teacher’s weekly load against their capacity, then even out the gaps — Haneen does this automatically during generation and shows a workload report to prove it.
Can I cap a teacher’s daily periods?
Yes — every teacher can carry an optional daily cap; both the generator and the editor respect it and reject edits that exceed it.
How do I know the schedule is actually fair?
The workload report shows every teacher’s share in numbers — total periods and their spread across days — so you can prove fairness to your staff without debate.
