You’re probably considering implementing a flex block as part of your COVID Recovery Plan, but are wondering how to manage a flexible schedule alongside your Aspen Master Schedule.
MyFlexLearning is a flexible scheduling tool that is tightly integrated with Aspen. You create a time in your Aspen bell schedule for flex block, then create the offerings and daily schedule within MyFlexLearning. Then, relevant data is securely shared between the two systems so that your teachers, staff and students know where everyone should be at all times.
The schools who use both Aspen and MyFlexLearning have found the implementation to be easy and the data syncing to be seamless. It gives you a set time during the school day to address learning loss and to expand learning for those who are ready.
Data is shared securely from Aspen to MyFlexlearning on a daily basis. Types of data include minimal Student and Staff, Daily Attendance, Schedule and Grades. MyFlexlearning sends flex block data back to Aspen for visibility by school staff and optionally in the Family Portal.
Schools that use MyFlexLearning and Aspen rely on up-to-date data so that the flex block operations run smoothly every day.
