Free Teacher Schedule Maker — Manage Your Teaching Week
Plan your teaching week across multiple classes — no sign-up required
A teacher schedule maker shows you your own week from the teacher's perspective: which class you are with each period, which subject you are teaching, and which slots are free for preparation or meetings. Unlike a class schedule that shows one group's week, this view follows you across all your classes.
Fill in your teaching assignments period by period and export a personal weekly grid. Ideal for new teachers learning how to manage their time, or for experienced teachers who want a clear printed overview of their commitments.
How to Build Your Teacher Schedule
- 1
Enter your school week
Set the working days, school start and end times, and break periods. These are usually defined by your school's standard calendar.
- 2
Add your classes and subjects
List the classes you teach (e.g. 6A, 7B, 8C) and the subject you teach each one. Assign each class a colour to distinguish them on the grid.
- 3
Place classes in your weekly grid
Assign each teaching slot to the appropriate class. Free periods appear automatically wherever you leave a cell empty — these are your preparation, marking, or meeting slots.
- 4
Download your personal timetable
Export to PDF and keep a copy for your desk, or share it with your department head. The layout is compact enough to fit in a planner or on a single A4 sheet.

Teacher Schedule Maker — Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the teacher schedule maker different from the class schedule maker?
- The class schedule maker shows one class's full week (all subjects, all teachers). The teacher schedule maker shows one teacher's full week (all classes and subjects they teach). It is the teacher's personal view, not the class's view.
- Can I add free periods and preparation time?
- Yes. Any cell you leave empty automatically appears as a free period. You can also add "preparation", "meeting", or "admin" as named activities if you want to show how those free periods are used.
- Is this tool suitable for substitute teachers?
- Yes. A substitute teacher can use this tool to quickly build a schedule for a one-day or one-week replacement. Fill in the classes and subjects for the period you are covering and print the result.
- Can I track my total teaching hours per week?
- Yes. The tool counts the number of filled teaching slots and converts them to hours based on the period duration you set. This gives you a quick view of your total weekly teaching load.
