Edficiency - making flex time scheduling a breeze

I can't overstate how perfect Edficiency has been for our school. It's really a combination of the product itself and the support that comes along with it. Some of our support sessions have been less about the how-to of using the product (click here, click here) but more about how it can be molded to support our schools educational vision.

Pros:

From the very first sales call, it was clear that Edficiency was designed with our exact use case in mind: balancing student and teacher needs and priorities in scheduling flexible learning sessions. Every single time we met with [SENSITIVE CONTENT], we came away with the assurance that it could handle everything we wanted it to. Each concern we had already had a feature designed to take care of it. Not only is the software great, but the support team is really outstanding as well. They are, by far, the best educational support company I have ever worked with. Not only do they understand the software, but they immediately understood our own vision for its implementation.

Cons:

The software is really great at its core purpose, but the graphic design of it is dated. In high usage times, there have been severe performance issues. Additionally, there are some quirks such as changes not being reflected until users log out and log back in.

Reasons for choosing Edficiency

Edficiency is literally designed for our use case: a flexible academic support period with constantly changing sessions based on the needs of our students. While some other products are designed for flexible sessions as well, we felt like they didn't balance the needs of students and teachers as well. Some of the alternate products were not designed for schools, but instead for conferences. In our conversations with Edficiency, it was very clear that they understood our use case.

Vendor Response

Tim - thanks so much for the feedback. We've enjoyed working with you to ensure our software can support you in your school's vision and specific needs. We also take your points about the design, quirks, and performance during high usage to heart. We believe we've resolved the performance issues at high peak times after growing far more than anticipated right at the start of this school year, but if you ever experience anything like that, or any other quirks, in the future, please don't hesitate to share them and we'll make sure to address them. Thanks again for the feedback and for helping us continually improve.

Pros:

Edficiency provides a very user-friendly way for our staff and students to schedule sessions for our intervention and enrichment period at school. The features provide many options for scheduling and it is very intuitive.

Cons:

Because of the size of our school, the text notifications to students about which session they are schedule in does not work. It is not an issue with the software, but rather with the text providers.

Reasons for choosing Edficiency

We felt that Edficiency did everything we needed it to do and the customer service is outstanding.

Edficiency in Education at the Secondary Level

Functionality

Pros:

Edficiency remains a high-quality product for student and staff scheduling. At Cooper High, we use Edficiency to create a flex period during that today that allows students a measure of choice in what teacher they would like to receive help from during the day, and as an intervention tool for teachers looking to provide student assistance. The benefits of this system are numerous. We can easily provide academic support to students during the school day and the system itself is relatively easy to initialize.

Cons:

Although the system itself is effective and provides a cost-effective solution to student scheduling, there are a few elements of Edficiency that could be improved. Edficiency requires some student and staff training, and its design is not always intuitive. For example, when students make a selection and schedule their sessions, switching between the days of the week and finding the right teacher makes for a "clunky" experience. This is not a problem in the coding of software, but rather one in design. Additionally, there is currently no easy tool that allows admin to exclude individual students from select sessions. It would also be helpful to have an attendance system that syncs with Infinite Campus.

Reasons for choosing Edficiency

Again, Edficiency was a cost-effective and effective alternative to other products on the market.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback, Josh! We'll pass your feedback along to our head of technology and reach out directly to follow up on the limiting sessions to specific students and attendance sync with IC, as we'd love to explore the current options with you and see if there could be room to include any others. But thanks again for the feedback and we're glad to hear that our software is helping to make the process of providing academic supports to your students easier (and cost-effective).

Malden High School Flex Leader

I really like this program and I am happy with how it is running so far. Right now it really is a trial and error situation and we feel our way through this new endeavor. Students who are engaged are really enjoying it. It is a matter of finding ways for students who aren't engaged (or are not choosing sessions) to buy into this new Flex period we have.

Functionality

Pros:

I really love the variety of session we can put into the system and it is very user friendly. We have only been using this software for a few months so we are learning new things as we go. We have started using the groups feature and the require request feature which has really helped to limit where students can randomly be placed. The staff and students have integrated into this software pretty well, but I do not feel like we had enough time to really show the staff members how to use edficiency before the year started. I believe if we had the time to do a more engaging training for our staff members before we started the first round of Flex, we would have seen an even easier transition into this new endeavor.

Cons:

A couple of concerns I have so far is that edficiency is not really linking up with Aspen (X2) so the attendance isn't captured as well as we would like. Right now teachers have no way of knowing if a student in their Flex session is supposed to be absent or if they are just skipping. If they have students in their Flex who are not on their actual class roster, they have no way of looking a student up for basic information, such as attendance record, and any medical or special education notifications that would be helpful. I also wish there was a way for students who did not pick to be placed into one room dedicated to students who did not make a choice, instead of getting randomly plopped into different sessions. We would love to have students who are not choosing a session be placed with a couple of staff members who can have conversations with them about choosing sessions.

Reasons for choosing Edficiency

I was not part of the team who chose this actual software.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your input, Jessica. I'm glad to hear that the system is working well for you all as you start your first flex period, despite not having as much time to engage and train your staff on it as you would've liked. While we don't currently offer real-time syncing of attendance with Aspen or pull more information than needed about students into our system for privacy reasons, we will consider those as we continually build out new features. There also is a way already in the system to send students that don't make a request to specific teachers for conversations. Please let us know if you'd like to discuss that and we'll happily show you how to set that up to accomplish what you'd like. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

User friendly, efficient and excellent customer service!

We use Edficiency for a kind of study hall/period to get help/have student meeting etc. Our previous way of doing this was not as organized, the students had to figure out where to go and resulted in a lot of unproductive time for students and it was hard to take attendance to make sure everyone was accounted for. Edficiency provides a great way to make that most out of everyone's time and to make sure everyone is accounted for by being able to request students, set up group meetings, take attendance. And the students get emailed where they should be! One of the other great thing about Edficiency is their customer service. If you ever have questions they are very quick to respond and very helpful!

Functionality

Pros:

Edficiency was very easy to learn how to use, you can start with the basics and build from there. It is a very user friendly program! From the admin. side set up was very easy along with updating from year to year. It is great that you can set up sessions far in advance if you would like, that you can create different templates to use if needed and pretty much customize it to fit your needs. It is easy to look up student assignments, reassign them, manage users, rooms etc. Overall, all the features are very easy to use!!

Cons:

A couple drawbacks are the fact that I have to take attendance in Edficiency and then transfer it to our SIS and that during the school year I have to manually enter new students and take out ones that are leaving. It is a lot of work on my end to create the teacher rosters so I leave it up to them but I wish there was a way to make them create one otherwise when students are assigned, the teachers without rosters don't end up with many students. I also wish that I did not have to remember to apply the template each day for the next day's session.

Vendor Response

Thanks, Nicole, for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that the system was easy to learn and user-friendly! We also totally get the appeal of not having to manually keep things up-to-date, so let us know if you'd like to discuss the auto-sync process with you and your tech team so you no longer will need to manually maintain the information in the system or have teachers load their own rosters! We also recommend loading templates a week at a time to get some extra efficiency and have less to remember in case that helps! Please let us know if there is ever anything else we can help with!

Solved Many Problems We Were Having (School Intervention/Extension System)

I've been teaching for 10 years now. I have been part of the "Intervention Team" for many of those years. We have gone through so many iterations of how to run interventions, it's not even funny... Some were total fails. Some were partial successes, but no matter what we were doing, we were using paper tickets to manage where everybody went. Not only was that so much work (for the secretaries) but the amount of fighting between teachers as to who-got-which-student-on-which-day was a total nightmare. Usually students hid in the bathroom and no one would know. As mentioned above, pre-Edficiency, we had found a system for intervening with students that most teachers really liked. The main annoyances were all of the paper tickets that were used to help kids get to where they were supposed to go, and there were many flaws with that. Our intervention-system was kind of complicated, but it was really working for us (minus the papers). It took a LOT of work on the back end to set everything up so that we could keep the things we loved about our current system and transition to a paper-less system... but all of that work up-front was absolutely worth it because for me (the one who is running the system on the back end) and for the teachers things are extremely easy during the year.

Pros:

I really like that you can set limits to the number of bodies that come into the room, so you can keep your number of students at a manageable amount. I love the way that priorities keep teachers from monopolizing a student's time. It's also extremely nice to be able to create "groups" and use the session-templates so that creating sessions day-by-day and week-by-week becomes extremely easy. A school who already has a system in place will be able to customize this program to meet their needs. We had a pretty complicated system that the teachers really loved. At first the Edficiency trainers kind of tried to sway us from using our system with this software, but when it was clear that teachers really wanted to use our system but electronically, they showed me how we could make it work, and it has been awesome.

Cons:

We still struggle with kids knowing where they are going... I know that the information is at their finger tips, but the closer the information is, the less they look.... So, training students to know where to go has taken much longer than I would have liked. The process to request a student is pretty easy (it was easier in our old paper-system) but this isn't too bad. But, because teachers (in my school) are so crazy when it comes to who has "Priority", requesting kids within a window of time is a little more complicated than I want it to be. But, again, that could be a problem unique to our school where we try to give each content area their own priority day. The learning curve can be steep if your students/teachers aren't familiar with an "Intervention/Extension" period. We had several teachers hired this year who had never experienced any kind of intervention period, so helping them understand that system (Intervention Periods) AND teach them this software while they were learning all of the other programs from the school/district was pretty tough for them, and it took time. Finally, the days that were hardest for us were days in which we tried to train the students on the system. In those days we had half of the students logging in at a time to learn how to use the program, and that really bogged down the system to where it was unusable until we got student signing out...

Vendor Response

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, Thomas! We're glad that you've been able to customize it to meet your needs, bringing over what you liked about your paper system while making it easier to manage throughout the year for you and your fellow teachers! If you ever want to discuss strategies to help students know where to go, or any other support, please don't hesitate to reach out. And lastly, we believe we have resolved all the temporary timeout issues that came from so many schools asking their entire student body to log in at once at the start of the year, but feel free to let us know if you plan to do that again and we'll be sure to have someone online monitoring things during that time to intervene in real-time in the even it ever was to become an issue again. Thanks again!

Edficiency is a time-saving, user-friendly scheduling program for intervention blocks.

If you want to work with a company of people who know what they are doing but also know how to talk to people about what they are doing, Edficiency is the program for you. They can help you dream of ways to use an intervention block that you never imagined were possible.

Pros:

I cannot say enough positive things about Edficiency's customer service. When I send an email (and I have sent plenty!) they respond, often times, within an hour. They have gone above and beyond to help make Edficiency work to its' maximum capacity for our school. If a situation cannot be remedied via email, they will do a Zoom Meeting with me to help figure everything out. The personalities are so excited about the produce and willing to help however they can. Previously, we used a different product. This product does not even begin to compare to the quality of Edficiency. The creators of Edficiency have obviously had classroom experience or input from teachers and educators. The program seems to have every feature we could ever dream of having. It has reduced the time for scheduling students in our intervention block from an hour (every day) using the other program to less than 5 minutes per WEEK using Edficiency. The "log in with google" feature allows students and teachers to easily access the information for the day and for the weeks to come. Students were able to navigate the program independently before we even did the training with them. The priority levels for tagging students are brilliant. With this feature, we are able to allow students the opportunity to attend a club if they choose to do so, but also request help from the teacher if they need it. Students and teachers, both, picked up very quickly how to tag students appropriately.

Cons:

I honestly can't say anything that iI like "least" about this program. It is so far above where the other program was that it seems to have everything! An app for the cell phone would be nice (although you can view the program through the web browser on a phone just fine).

Reasons for choosing Edficiency

Honestly, Edficiency was the first program I stumbled upon in my search and there was no need to look any further. It met all of our needs and then some!

Reasons for switching to Edficiency

The program we previously had was HORRIBLE and one of the least user-friendly programs I have ever used. Students had to sign up for a club the same day of the club. If they didn't select a club, and a teacher released them, they simply had no where to go. If a password was forgotten, we had to email our principal...then the principal email the company....the company reset the password...the company email the principal....the principal email the teacher...then finally we could get the new password to the student. This was the process for almost everything including creating new users (students who enroll late), creating new club sessions, changing seating capacities.

Pros:

Edficiency is easy to use for both students and staff. One thing I love is the support we have received. I am not one to read the manual, I will email [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and he is quick to respond. I've always wanted a flex period, and I can not imagine I could run one without Edficiency. I really like the ability to track how often students are requesting help from teachers and how often teachers request students. Great information to have at parent teacher conference time.

Cons:

There is nothing I dislike about edficiency. The only suggestion I would have is to make an app because students are accustomed to using an app. When I get to the point where I think "Oh, I wish we could do this . .. " I connect with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and he gives me the reasoning behind why the program was designed the way it was, and his reason is always better than my thought for a change!

Thanks for sharing, Teresa! We are happy to hear that you've been happy with the system and our support, and are especially happy to hear that you've found our reports to be helpful in parent conversations!

Pros:

We just started using Edficiency at the beginning of this school year, and it has been very easy to introduce to our students and teachers. We love that this program allows our teachers the flexibility to offer sessions that address needs in their classes when it is convenient for them. We also love that students have more choice with who they will see for the I/E period.

Cons:

I wish that Edficiency was able to interact with our SIS so that student who have an early dismissal or have been absent all day would auto-fill in the Edficiency software attendance. Since we follow a 4-day cycle at our school of 1100 students, not every teacher sees all of their students each day. When we have to investigate to figure out why a student is not present in a session, it takes time that could be spent working with students. If the systems interacted, it would take that additional step out of the equation.
