Maybe a column for name, another for an abbreviated summary, and some record of followup with the support staff, CPS, psychiatrist, etc. ; what kind of intervention was used, results, blah blah... Even a Rule Infraction Tracker, or a Summary of Day journal would rule, with room for assignments, off-topic notes, incidents, and particular student goal tracking... Anything to make IEPs and documentation less painful... Awesome work, btw---thank you!

Honestly though... I just add whatever kind of page I need when I need it. It's fairly easy to set up my own templates in Word or print scheduling pages from Outlook. Lesson planning and scheduling templates would be nice though, because they are so specialized and would take a lot of time for me to make myself. I think I'm going to make a separate hipster pda just for homeschooling.

Having looked through your suggestions and looked at some of your fantastic creations I can come up with only one addition to the educators pack: resources for practical subjects. Take my subject, science, for example: I regulalrly order various pieces of apparatus for any experiments my students need. A card with title, room, class, number of kits required, apparatus, risk assessments etc would be most useful. Thanks!
