Block+Schedule

=Does the block schedule currently in place best serve the needs of our children? Why? Why not?=


 * List the pros and cons of our current schedule below: **

Good for labs. KK Allows for varied lessons and content as well as special activities such as debates, etc., which take more than 40 minutes. ~JK
 * __PROS__**

**I do like the block schedule much more than I thought I would. Regarding language acquisition initially I wasn’t please with the lack of daily contact but soon realized how much I can do in a block. -DA** The block schedule allows more time for varied instruction in a day- We can teach to multiple types of learners more easily because there is less pressure to "get through" a lesson. SB

__CONS__ Don't see every class, and every student, every day of the week. ~JK


 * I believe, however, that there is a //desperate// need for a conference period that would be sacred (not invaded by meetings, etc). My students have no time to review with me as they should be doing or to make up aural exams unless they come in inordinately early in the morning. This just creates more stress for them. -DA [NOTE: Repeated this on "Time" page] **
