School wheel

School-specific annual wheel events beyond the statutory deadlines

Leadership adds the school's own recurring events — open day, parents' evenings, theme days — straight onto the wheel. Teachers and the local authority see them alongside the statutory deadlines. DuFour (2016) emphasises that shared cadence is the heart of a functioning school organisation; the wheel is its practical expression.

Title, date, optional description and colour — the event is on the wheel instantly.

Per school

Events belong to the individual school — other schools in the authority see only their own.

Visible to teachers

Teachers' wheel shows the school events woven in with the statutory deadlines.

Visible to the authority

The local-authority rollup shows the school's own dates next to the national ones — full context.

Side by side with statutory dates

Custom events are clearly tagged so they're never confused with statutory deadlines.

Edit and remove

Dates change — leadership can edit or remove events without disturbing any other list.

In the classroom

School fete

The date goes on the wheel — teachers plan around it, the authority knows the school is busy.

Year 7 parents' evening

Recurring event with description and colour — all teachers carry it automatically.

Inset days

The school's own closure days sit next to national holidays — no double-booking.

For school leadership and for teachers

For school leadership

One place to set the school's own dates — instead of three different calendars (Outlook, Google, Aula). Events are seen by teachers, council and parents in the role-relevant view, so nobody is in doubt about what applies when.

  • Recurring events: create once, runs for multiple years
  • Colour codes per category — visual separation in the timeline
  • Read-only for the council — overview without losing control
For teachers

You don't have to remember the dates by heart. School events show in your wheel alongside statutory deadlines — and they're clearly tagged with their source, so you know which are local and which are national.

  • School events woven with statutory deadlines in one view
  • Clear source tag — no doubt about origin
  • Reminders on relevant events can be toggled individually

Research base

School events are grounded in research on shared cadence and Danish school law.
