This book was released on 2011 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact block scheduling has on (a) student academic achievement, discipline, and attendance, and (b) administrator, teacher, and student perceptions. The study compared 2005-2010 data from a high school utilizing the A/B block schedule and a high school under a traditional schedule, in one suburban school district. The study used mixed methods. The quantitative data described, analyzed, and interpreted reading and math FCAT [Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test] scores, attendance rates, and discipline referrals from 2005-2010. A total of seven repeated ANOVAs were conducted to analyze the difference between the two schedule designs with respect to two achievement indicators; reading and math FCAT scores. The qualitative data offered a voice to administrators, teachers, and students, and was gathered through individual face-to-face, email, or phone interviews. The quantitative findings for the study yielded the following conclusions: (1) students experienced higher FCAT reading scores on the A/B block schedule than the traditional schedule; (2) students experienced higher FCAT math scores under the traditional schedule than the A/B block schedule; (3) attendance rates decreased for students under the A/B block schedule and increased for students under the traditional schedule; and (4) discipline referrals decreased at a higher rate for students under the traditional schedule than students under the A/B block schedule. The administrator, teacher, and student perceptions contributed to the following qualitative findings for the study: (1) block scheduling fosters extended learning sessions when properly planned; (2) with fewer transitions discipline issues decreased; (3) attendance was not affected by the block schedule; (4) block schedule allows for the implementation of various instructional strategies; and (5) transitioning from a traditional to a block schedule was thought to be difficult at first, but attainable, and would alleviate any feelings of being rushed. Four appendixes present: (1) Florida High School Report Card; (2) Interview Questions; (3) Participant Consent Form; and (4) Parental Permission Form. (Contains 22 tables.).

Book excerpt: Adams and Salvaterra show how block scheduling can help teachers become more creative in instructional strategies and find higher satisfaction on the job. Students' grades improve, they can complete more courses and administrators and faculty can become more student-centered, discussion-oriented, and focused on complex academic tasks. Staff development and continual training throughout the change process are keys to implementing successful changes. Block Scheduling will help each school find its own pathway to success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify the academic performance of students based on their current schedule. The study sought to find out what types of schedules are currently in use, the current state data available for school with different schedules, and what teachers and staff see as major benefits and challenges of schedules available. This research was conducted through the use of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's District and School Report Cards website and an online survey tool. In total, 52 teachers, instructional support specialists, and principles from two different schools were sent an email invitation and explanation to participate in the survey. The survey consisted of both closed and open-ended questions. These questions sought to determine teaching experience and whether a teacher taught in block schedule, traditional schedule, or both. It also sought out the opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of the block and traditional schedule. Results of this research indicate that there is very little difference in academic achievement in the modified block and traditional schedule, although both schools used were both academically below the state average scores in reading and mathematics. The participants surveyed indicated to the advantages of the block schedule include smaller class sizes, longer periods to complete lab exercises, an increase in homework completion and turn in ratio, and a feeling a being more prepared for the lessons because fewer classes need to be prepared for. Some of the disadvantages include planning for double the amount of material for each class on a daily basis and the amount information that is covered in a short span of time. The participants surveyed indicated the advantages of the traditional schedule included offering a wider range of class options and the classes are then being taught year long, which allows for more content contact before the various state testing. The survey responses also indicated that some educators felt a traditional schedule led to larger class sizes and teachers preparing for multiple classes every day. This project did not uncover enough evidence to recommend one schedule over the other.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good deal of research has been conducted on the effect that block scheduling has on student engagement and student academic success. As one of the teachers selected to teach the block format class, the researcher was interested in learning whether the block class was indeed serving its purpose of increasing the number of students that passed Algebra A. The studies reviewed and the need to determine the academic outcome of the block classes, helped lead to the main research question: Is there a relationship between block scheduling and academic achievement in lower level math students at Case High School? The researcher hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between passing rate and the block schedule.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The issue of time usage in educational institutions across America has been a topic of debate in the last two decades as some educators have seriously questioned the effectiveness of the traditional daily school schedule and the student learning that takes place within it. Block scheduling is a recent scheduling phenomenon seen in today's secondary schools in an effort to provide teachers a flexible school schedule that is more conducive to student learning and not so closely tied to time. This paper explores student achievement on both state and national standardized exams and compares any differences between students learning on a block schedule compared to those on a traditional schedule. With these results the reader will be better able to determine if block scheduling is an educationally sound method of restructuring time."--leaf 3.
