I do not see educational benefits. Students report that many teachers allow free time for the last 20-30 minutes. VA This is our first year with block scheduling. We decided on 4 block schedule with alternating days. Math and Language Arts continues to meet daily, while Science, Social Studies and electives meet every other day.
Research indicates so.
I guess this school agrees. We have just initiated block scheduling, and I am seeking high school English lesson plans that fit into 75 minute blocks. Our administration is insisting on variety. Our main problem seems to be creating lesson plans that offer a variety of methods and still cover the same amount of material. Please let me know.
