When Teacher Load Monitoring is enabled, the Classes page shows sections taught by an overloaded teacher in orange, so that sections can be chosen accordingly. In Edit mode, users with Update permission to Teacher Data can still choose an orange section after the message "Teacher overloaded! Continue anyway?". Other users can't choose it and see "Student cannot be assigned to this Section, as the teacher is OVERLOADED!". The same check runs when a section is added from View MST. In order to enable Teacher Load Monitoring, the Monitor Teacher Load School Setting must be set, and Max Stu/Day must be set for every teacher who teaches sections this term. Once the setting is on, Aeries checks every teacher's load. To leave a course out of teacher totals (for example, TA or office periods), set Exc to X (Exclude Course from Tchr Totals) on that course on the Courses page.
NOTE: Teacher Load Monitoring is used at secondary schools and is not available at schools that schedule with Section Staff.

Set the Maximum Load of Students Per Day
To see each teacher's max load and current total, as set in the TCH table, use the following query:
LIST TCH TCH.TN TCH.TE TCH.MS TCH.TS
The query results show the maximum students per day, per teacher. You may need to set or change the maximum number of students per day. Once Teacher Load Monitoring is on, Teacher Data also shows Total and Left next to Max Stu/Day.
Filter Pages by Teachers and click Teachers or navigate to School Info > Teachers.
In the Teachers list, click the name of the teacher whose Max Stu/Day you need to change:
On Teacher Data, click the Change button.
In the Max Stu/Day field, type in the max load of students per day for the teacher:
Click the Update button. In this example, the teacher's max load of students per day is 150 and Teacher Load Monitoring has been enabled. When the teacher's total reaches 150 students, their sections are identified as overloaded and shown in orange on Classes. The total counts every student enrolled in each section where the teacher is the primary teacher (Tch#), for terms in session today; a student in two of the teacher's sections counts twice.
