Designed for special-education professionals
Built around the tasks and responsibilities that actually generate workload.
What you'll learn
The calculator estimates workload from tasks and responsibilities — not labels assigned to students — and reports results as ranges.
Estimated weekly workload
A range of minutes per week drawn from the tasks and responsibilities on your caseload — not a head count.
Protected-time gap
How your estimated workload compares with the protected case-management time available, shown as a range.
Major workload drivers
Which responsibilities — meetings, paperwork, direct service, coordination — consume the most capacity.
Practical discussion points
Non-judgmental talking points you can bring to a conversation about capacity and supports.
Important limits
The result is an educational planning estimate, not legal advice, a contractual workload determination, or an evaluation of individual productivity. It is a starting point for conversation, not a staffing or compliance conclusion.
- Estimates are expressed as ranges because workload varies week to week and case to case.
- A gap between workload and protected time reflects a structural capacity question — never a judgment of the educator.
- This tool does not collect student names, identifiers, disability categories, or IEP documents.
