Replacing teaching staff

Introduction

These instructions explain how to transfer all of an outgoing teacher’s commitments to another, new teacher (i.e. one with no existing commitments).

After carrying out the process below, the outgoing teacher will have no timetable. These will have been transferred to the new teacher

In SIMS .net

Focus | Person | Manage Classroom Staff

• Add the new teacher, making sure to:
• Record the appropriate teacher and cover status in the “Classroom Information” section
• Enter an appropriate working pattern in the Organisations section
• Make a note of the chosen staff code
• If the new teacher did not exist in Personnel already, note that the preceding steps will create a new entry in the Personnel database, visible under status All in the Personnel area. Make your personnel officer aware of this as they will need to consider any implications e.g. School Workforce Census.
• Call up the outgoing classroom staff record and set the cover option to Does not provide cover

Nova-T6

Plan | Teachers

Do not create the new teacher in Nova-T6. Instead:

• Call up the outgoing staff record
• Edit code and name to that of the new staff
• Export curriculum and t/t to SQL as usual
