Download or read book Block Scheduling and Its Impact on the School Library Media Center written by Marie Shaw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-02-28 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the country educators are facing the challenge of restructuring the secondary school to meet the needs of students in the twenty-first century. Block scheduling provides sustained time and fosters an environment for active and experiential learning, a key to student success in life. The author, who has spearheaded the adoption of block scheduling in her school's library media center, has prepared a complete guide for library media specialists contemplating or moving to block scheduling. In preparing this guide she has incorporated the experiences of twelve secondary school libraries across the country that have also moved to block scheduling. Step by step, this guide walks the library media specialist through planning, networking, curriculum and instruction, professional development, technology, and assessment. Practical suggestions, forms, lesson plans, and case studies of other media centers that have successfully adopted block scheduling will help the library media specialist to make the transition to the block. Block scheduling places a high demand on staff, materials, and information technologies. Shaw stresses that networking of people and resources is essential to successful adoption of block scheduling. She takes the reader through the planning and transitional phases of a high school adopting block scheduling and addresses concerns about instructional change, ongoing curriculum, and the role of the library media specialist as a teacher of information technology. She provides ideas on where to find professional development and how to network with other library media specialists with expertise in the block and offers practical suggestions on resource sharing, study hall, flexible scheduling, budget, collection development, substitute teachers, and assessment techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of both regular education and special education teachers concerning the impact that block scheduling has on the social, emotional, behavioral, and academic growth and success of high school students with an IEP in three school districts in south central Pennsylvania. The study also investigated whether teachers perceive block scheduling as a positive or negative factor in the effective education of high school students with an IEP. Data were collected through an online survey that included Likert-scale questions, open-ended responses, and one-to-one interviews. Forty-four regular education teachers and thirteen special education teachers from three public school districts in south central Pennsylvania participated on this survey. The findings of this study suggest that regular education and special education teachers both perceive, at comparable degrees, that block scheduling provides the time to build better relationships within their classes, allows teachers to better understand their students with an IEP, go deeper into the content, while providing a school climate that is slower and less chaotic. Even though there were many similarities, there were also discrepancies in the perceptions between regular education teachers and special education teachers when asked if the grades of students with an IEP improved in the block schedule.
