Product Description
This short, practical "how-to" book describes setting up block scheduling for middle and high schools. Block schedules are seen as useful restructuring tools because they allow enough instruction time to facilitate problem-solving approaches to learning. However, they are not easily implemented and require a great deal of planning. The author provides a planning guide that discusses probable barriers and sources of resistance, as well as strategies for overcoming problems. The strategies provided can be implemented in any school. This book will be a valuable resource for principals and central office directors of curriculum and instruction in their efforts to implement block scheduling. It includes practical information as well as recent study data and case studies.
