Scheduling Platform with Technologically Advanced Tools
Many well-documented research based proven strategies to improve student achievement have not been
implemented in our nation’s schools. It’s not because school leaders haven’t tried to address the
needs of today learners. It’s not because schools don’t have scheduling systems. But designing new
school day models, running simulations to test models for potential student and teacher conflicts,
and scheduling students to address their individual needs requires technologically advanced tools
built with artificial intelligence. Without these tools, it’s practically impossible for school
leaders to incorporate programs and strategies in the school day that research has proven to improve
student achievement. Cimple offers an on-demand web hosted scheduling platform for elementary schools
PreK-5 and PreK-8, middle schools grades 6-8 and high schools 6-12 or 9-12. It’s agnostic, so it can
be used by any school and with any student information system. It’s hosted, so no additional new
hardware is needed. It’s web-based, so it can be easily accessed with a web browser from school or home.
And, it’s managed, so that school’s technical staff is freed of the annual problems and pressure associated
currently with student scheduling each year.

Professional Development Program for K12 School Leaders
Most school leaders received no formal student scheduling training while obtaining their
administrative degrees and certification or when assigned the task by district administration.
As a result, more often than not, the school day structure in place and used by the previous principal
is passed-down and patched over and over again. It’s not that school leaders haven’t tried to change
and to innovate the school day to address the needs of today’s learners, but without the know-how and
the know-that of an experienced scheduling professional, they very often give up. Cimple offers a
professional development program designed to build a school leader’s capacity to implement innovation
and change in their school to improve student achievement. The program begins by sharing with
school leaders the methods and practices developed over many years that are essential to building
student profiles, to collecting complete and accurate student data, and to determining the teachers
required to address the needs of individual students. Then the program offers models used successfully
in other schools that include research proven strategies to improve student achievement. Selecting,
designing and customizing a model to address the unique needs of a school today and then changing
it as needed, is critical for long term improved student achievement. By providing a guided
learning process from start to finish the program increases the likelihood that a school leader
will open his or her school, where every student, regardless of levels or special needs, has a
complete and accurate student schedule that address their individual needs.
