Special Education Teacher Scheduling That Actually Fits Your Caseload

Between pull-outs, push-ins, testing, meetings, and student rotations, scheduling IEP services can feel like assembling a 1,000-piece puzzle during your 5-minute lunch break. And when the schedule changes (again), you’re stuck rewriting it — again. Kit’s calendar gives you the flexibility to finally create a schedule that works for your caseload — not the other way around.

What Scheduling Usually Looks Like

You might be:

• Managing services for students on monthly, weekly, or rotating models

• Adjusting schedules for behavior plans, class coverage, or testing

• Rescheduling after student absences or field trips

• Updating the calendar in a planner, a spreadsheet, and an IEP system (triple entry!)

And when you need to prove those services happened? Good luck backtracking it all.

Kit Makes Scheduling Flexible — Finally

Here’s how Kit helps you build a calendar that’s actually realistic:

• Create Multiple Calendars: Track services by school, classroom, or service model.

• Recurring Events: Schedule students weekly, monthly, or on custom intervals like every third Tuesday.

• One-Time Events: Add one-offs like IEP meetings, evaluations, or makeup sessions.

• Calendar Views: Switch between day, week, or month views — whatever makes your brain happy.

• Easy Edits: Click and drag to reschedule or edit events as things shift.

• Attach Schools: Sync breaks, holidays, and school closures so they don’t throw off your plan.

“I work with kids on different frequencies — some weekly, some monthly, some twice a week. Kit lets me make it all work without doing the math every week.” — Riley, Special Education Teacher

What It Looks Like in Practice

Imagine:

• Seeing your full day, or week, or month, laid out — services, testing, prep, and meetings

• Color-coding calendars for easy sorting (hello, visual learners)

• Dragging an event to reschedule without breaking the whole thing

• Viewing all service types and frequencies in one place

No more making three different calendars or cross-checking post-its.

Why It Matters

Special education teachers are expected to deliver services that reflect each student’s unique needs — not rigid time blocks. Flexible service delivery models such as 3:1 schedules, receding intensity, or co-teaching allow educators to shift between direct, indirect, and consultative support as students progress. But to make this work, you need a scheduling system that adjusts with you.

According to the CEC Standards for Professional Practice, special educators must “systematically individualize instructional variables to maximize the learning outcomes of individuals with exceptionalities” and “recommend special education services necessary for an individual… to receive an appropriate education.”

Kit helps make that possible — by letting you organize sessions by IEP service type, frequency, and delivery method in one flexible calendar.
