The Teacher Supervision module enables you to manage cover in an easy, clear and concise manner. You no longer need to print off slips or class lists (although you may like to print off a photo lists for relief teachers that are unfamiliar with your students). As you will be entering teacher absence through the staff overview, the information will go through to payroll for you thus eliminating more paperwork. Be aware that for this module to work you do need a timetable sitting in FACTS.
