Book excerpt: BLOCK SCHEDULING IN AN ERA OF COMMON CORE CURRICULUM: ACASE STUDY OF ADMINISTRATORS’ AND TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONSFOR CLASSROOM PRACTICES AND ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENTThe landscape of modern educational practice in the United States features aterrain that is often jagged while still being predictable in nature. The needs of studentsare varied and complex and despite the challenges faced, most leaders in the field ofeducation agree that schools should be a place that is preparatory, challenging, andengaging. In recent years, there has been a great amount of discussion and theorizing onhow to increase academic engagement within the classroom to the depth that mostprofessionals agree is needed. Through this case study, I examined block scheduling in ahigh school as a vehicle for increasing academic engagement. I studied teacher’sperceptions and understandings of strategies used to increase student achievement whichultimately led to defining academic engagement through behavioral, cognitive, andemotional lenses. With a holistic definition, I was able to study the impact of blockscheduling on academic engagement in the classroom. This case study employed the useof Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching (Danielson, 2013) as a lens forviewing the teacher’s role in securing proper engagement within the classroom andBloom’s taxonomy revised (Anderson, 2001) to determine the complexity of studentwork. I considered both the current climate and trends of education in the United Statesas well as the culture of the community in which the study was conducted. Qualitativedata regarding the effects of block scheduling on academic engagement were collected through individual interviews, observations, and analysis of artifacts particular to the casestudy site. Through synthesis of the data collected, I determined that although a blockschedule requires continued targeted professional development and by itself may notenhance classroom instruction, it can prove to be impactful on fostering meaningfulteacher-student relationships leading to a positive school climate.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Responses to the survey were disaggregated by schedule type and years of teaching experience within groups and between groups. Middle school teachers in the A/B block schedule perceived their schedule had a greater impact on student learning on over 90% of the survey responses. In addition the A/B block schedule teachers perceived their instructional strategies were more diverse than the traditional schedule middle teachers. While professional development demonstrated significant differences between the two groups, the differences were not as many or as large.

Download or read book Perceptions of Teachers and Administrators of the Effectiveness of Block Scheduling in Mississippi High Schools written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The call for reform to raise student achievement has required educators, school leaders, and researchers to look for new methods to improve the learning process. One method used increasingly is block scheduling. Block scheduling is the restructuring of the school day into classes much longer than the traditional 50-55 minute class period. The purpose of this study was to determine high school principals' and teachers' perceptions of block scheduling in Mississippi high schools in three areas: achievement, attendance, and discipline. Many theorists believe that a person's perceptions form the basis of reality for that person. If a teacher believes that block scheduling is effective, then for them, it is effective. Because some theorists believe that there is little to be gained from general studies that compare the objective results of block scheduling with the objective results of traditional scheduling since these comparisons have shown mixed results, this study addressed the social validity of block scheduling which is the extent to which participants perceive the worthiness of block scheduling. The research design used in this study was a cross sectional survey design. A researcher-developed survey instrument was used to collect data from teachers and principals in Mississippi high schools that had implemented block scheduling in the last 5 years. A total of 22 schools were used for the study. A 5 point Likert-type scale was used to measure respondents' perceptions of the effectiveness of block scheduling on the three areas. While both principals and teachers appeared to have positive perceptions of the impact block scheduling has on student achievement, discipline, and attendance, principals had a more positive perception than teachers in all three areas. Both groups appeared to believe that student discipline was the most positively affected area, while attendance was the least positively affected. Recommendations based upon the findings of this study included conducting: (a) studies that include a larger sample of principals, (b) studies that identify student perceptions of block scheduling, and (c) studies to determine how important staff development is when implementing block scheduling.
