Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible guide to creating schedules that amplify school and district priorities, support best practices in teaching and learning, heighten student engagement, and enhance equity. A school’s schedule can be as important to education outcomes as its budget or strategic plan. The secret to making the schedule a tool for school improvement is to approach schedule design not as a technical task, centered on making everything fit like Tetris blocks, but as a strategic one. In this book, informed by research and their work with hundreds of schools, scheduling experts Nathan Levenson and David James explore how strategic scheduling can turn a "good enough" schedule into one that supercharges learning and engagement without additional costs or more FTEs. If you are ready to * Figure out which schedule type is best for your students and staff; * Disrupt harmful tracking and ensure every student has access to highly skilled teachers and rigorous curriculum; * Deliver optimum hours of core instruction while expanding electives and providing opportunities for student voice and choice; * Precisely match staffing to course enrollment to free up personnel and funds for other purposes * Find time for critical intervention and enrichment blocks; and * Communicate scheduling decisions more effectively to parents, families, and district leaders ... then it’s time for strategic scheduling. Offering targeted advice for best-practice scheduling at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, this book will help school and district leaders—and the teachers and students they serve—make the most of every school day and every school year.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative research study was to ascertain the perceptions of teachers related to the change from a 4X4 block schedule to a 3X6 trimester schedule at a southeastern Pennsylvania high school. The perceptions of 21 teachers who had at least one year of experience teaching in both the block and trimester schedules were collected using an online survey that asked respondents to compare the impact of trimester scheduling through the lead question, "When I compare the trimester schedule to the block schedule, I find that ..." The first research question addressed (a) instructional practices, (b) student behavior, (c) student achievement, (d) schedule structure, (e) advantages of trimester scheduling, and (f) disadvantages of trimester scheduling. A second research question compared the perceptions of teachers of core subjects to the perceptions of teachers of elective subjects. The findings indicated perceived advantages related to the mathematics program, but the increased work load for both teachers and students resulted in perceived disadvantages. The teachers were nearly evenly divided regarding their preference in schedule type, with no notable difference in the perceptions of teachers of core subjects and the perceptions of teachers of elective subjects.

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.
