Developing a Schedule
Look at district map
Write days of week across top of folder
On Post-It Notes, write the name of each student on one note-one color for direct and a different color for consult
![Page 23: Getting Your Protégé Up and Running September 3, 2008 Chrissy Cowan Mentor Coordinator.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070416/56649c985503460f94953e62/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Developing a ScheduleIf the student’s VI time is separated out make two Post-It Notes for the same student
Place names on your file folder/calendar, spread out over the week
Using a 3rd color Post-It Note, schedule time slots for lunch, observing students, etc.
Allot time to travel between campuses

Developing a Schedule
Get names of teachers for elementary students, copy of the course schedule for middle/high school students
Set up brief meeting with teachers to share information from FVE/LMA recommendations section, discuss possible time slots to work with student (refer to Itinerant Scheduling Tips document)

Developing a Schedule
As you talk to teachers, use one index card per student to fill in VI service scheduling opportunities (days of the week and a variety of specific times). Use a highlighter to mark these times on each card
For example:
![Page 26: Getting Your Protégé Up and Running September 3, 2008 Chrissy Cowan Mentor Coordinator.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070416/56649c985503460f94953e62/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
