This book was released on 1999 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the student survey, the sample population at Bainbridge High School (Decatur County, Georgia) reflects the importance of having opportunities to take more courses, focus on fewer courses at one time, have more in depth study time, and the opportunity to finish a course in one semester. These are all benefits of block scheduling and they are not possible with the traditional six period schedule. Based on the teachers survey, the faculty believed the block schedule would better accommodate and enhance student learning, attendance, and drop outs. Many of the faculty believed students will benefit from a more in depth study of their subjects due to the change in block scheduling.

Book excerpt: Purpose of the study . The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of modified block scheduling on a suburban midwestern high school. Procedures . Case study research methodology was used to determine how modified block scheduling had impacted the school from the perspective of students, parents, teachers, and administrators. Findings . The following findings were identified: (1) The general perception of modified block scheduling has remained positive prior to, during, and after implementation. (2) Students, teachers, and administrators perceived that instruction had changed after the implementation of modified block scheduling. (3) The impact of instructional changes was to enhance learning opportunities for some students. (4) The modified block schedule had a positive impact on school climate. (5) The seminar period (AIM) each Thursday was used in a positive manner by some school participants and was not by others. (6) It was a concern of the teaching staff that they did not have a plan period one day a week. Teachers viewed those days without a plan period as difficult. (7) The modified block schedule appeared to be more beneficial for higher achieving students than lower achieving students. While these findings were supported by a variety of data sources, an obvious question remains. Are the perceived positive attributes of modified block scheduling in this school parallel to other schools with similar schedules? This question, in addition to others is left for further research.
