PowerTeacher - Default to current term only or allow teacher to select


kate.isabelli@...
 

From the first year we started with PowerSchool (seems like forever) until now, our teachers have continued to ask why they have to look at both their Sem 1 and Sem 2 classes in PowerTeacher, instead of being able to select a single term  (Or have it default to the current term.  (Note: Our district separates even "yearlong" classes into two separate classes for scheduling reasons.  So even a teacher teaching 5 classes in a semester could see 10 classes.  And, long sad story, there are cases where teachers see more.)

I've voted up every request I can find that seems related.  This seems so basic since you can do it on the Admin side.

Is anyone aware of a customization already available to make this an option for our teachers?

I was a little slow in making time to act on this, but thank you, thank you, thank you for the suggestion and testimonial on this.  Finally got this installed and our teachers LOVE it!  I received more positive feedback from them on this than anything else I think I've done in my career here.  Just goes to show that it can be the "little" things that make a difference!

Hi Kate,

I see your question and your joy in using it but not what the actual tool is. Could you let me know what you installed to make this work? 

Thank you!

Lisa- I believe she installed this Teacher Term Filter plug-in . It's available on the exchange at https://support.powerschool.com/exchange/view.action?download.id=1105

Thank you Niha Janagama for responding on this, as I'm definitely running behind.  Can't believe I didn't post the link, but that's exactly what I installed and we are still loving it!
