NOVA T6 - Can I make a subject NOT count in a teacher's allocation?

[TeacherDave]

Hi all

I'm adding staff to the TT but I have hit an annoying snag. I have Registration in my TT as a lesson, however I don't want it to count in the lesson allocation for each teacher when I use the classes screen. Is there a way to ask Nova not to count it?

Thanks

Don't have it as a lesson?

I'd like it not to count history - but the software won't listen to me!

 

If you really aren't going to count contact time as contact time (as this certainly is contact time) then you're going to have to flag it as non-contact time.

 

else the easy answer is to subtract it at the end when you do your calculations?

We have it as a lesson, and I manually go through the teacher bit in Nova and add 5 hours to the form tutors max hours so the tallies still work. Bit of an effort but it works

Don’t you just set registration as NCC, non class code? We’ve done this for years. The assigned teacher is then picked up from the Pastoral Structure

Thank you to all the replies. I previously had it as NCC however the classes weren't appearing in Cover Manager for the cover supervisor to arrange teachers to cover if the form tutor was off that day, so I put it into the TT. It may be that the cover supervisor was not doing it correctly and it is possible to see and cover NCCs. I think I'll either explore moving it back to an NCC or follow Panosthegreat and simply add on the allocation to the max load.

you can't cover forms unless they are scheduled as far as i know. I'd go with panosthegreat and just whack everyone's max load up to take account of it.

We are moving back to lesson next year having been a NCC. Forms/Registration is a minor irritation - however it also stops any alternative curriculum going on in tutor time causign us problems with registering our reading catch-up groups etc.
