A day
Four campuses. Twenty-one students.One person holding all of it.
Not a hard Tuesday. An ordinary one. Here is what it looks like — and what EasyCaseload was doing in the background while you were teaching.

- 7:20Drive
Early Elementary, twenty-two minutes out. You are already thinking about the first student.
Mileage for the trip, if you want it on the invoice.
- 8:05Early Elementary
Two students. One is having a bad morning and you adjust the whole session for it.
Two session logs, spoken in the corridor between them.
- 10:40Drive
Across town. Eat in the car. A parent calls back while you are on the road.
The call becomes a note on that student, not a thing to remember.
- 11:15Bangs Intermediate
Four students, back to back, in a room you share with the speech therapist.
Four more logs. Minutes counting toward what each IEP asks for.
- 1:30Westview
An ARD you were asked to sit in on. The IEP changes; the goals change with it.
The new IEP, read once. Last year's goals set aside, not deleted.
- 3:50Drive home
Six sessions, an ARD, and ninety minutes of driving.
Nothing left to write up tonight.
By Friday
Every one of those is a record somebody will ask you for
Not this week, necessarily. But at the end of the six weeks, or at the next ARD, or when a district queries an invoice, or when a parent asks what you have been working on.
The minutes
Six sessions is a number somebody will compare against what each IEP requires. It is already counted, per student, inside the dates that mandate covers.
The ARD
A new IEP takes over from the day it takes effect. Last year's goals stop counting toward this year's progress, and stay on file for the reports that cited them.
The driving
Ninety minutes across two districts. On the invoice at the right rate for each, if mileage is something you bill for.
9pm
The part of Tuesday you get back
The six logs are written. The minutes are counted. The reminder about Marcus’s mother is set for Friday. The report that’s due at the end of the six weeks already has everything it needs in it.
You closed the laptop at 4:15.
The honest way to judge it is to use it
You get a sample caseload to move around in — students, schedules, documents, reports — before a single one of your own goes in.
