The question is about a new timetable structure that would mean you would see your seniors for an all day session, once a week.

This is only one of the ideas that the timetable team are thinking about and your feedback about these ideas as they come though is really important.
Thankyou

I like the idea as potentially it will allow students more time to engage more deeply in the subject. I also think it could allow more focused learning time and more one on one opportunities with each student

What if they are away for that day. That's a whole weeks of learning missed.

How would Gateway fit into this? They would miss a whole day and subject for a block of ten days. Gateway is a school activity.

I'm not a fan of when the time table flips from Tutor P1 P2 to P1 P2 Tutor.  It's inconsistent for students and staff, and impacts on Intermediate Technology. Could Assembly please just be timetabled into the Timetable

Students often miss a day of school for illness, trips, gateway, truanting, car trouble, etc etc. They would miss a full week's learning if that was the case, and it would be impossible to do catch-ups that would be required when students miss days. Also - imagine being asked yourself to listen, focus and work on the same thing for 6 hours straight! Teachers couldn't work like that (we break PD days into sessions), so we couldn't expect students to either. Concentration is best broken into small chunks anyway - primary schools also do this by breaking the day into literacy and numeracy - they would never attempt a full day on literacy. Please don't.

I would only like this once a month, or once or twice a term at the very most.  Doing this once a week I'm not a fan of.

woah how would that work for multi level classes, needs more thought.

what about clash with Gateway?
Are we expecting our kids to expand/stretch their abilities in listening, focusing,diligently working on the same topic for 6 long hours?
How effective can it be from both Teacher's as well as students' side?
nd if it is a multilevel class???

this will make it harder for us to meet attendance challenges as truants will wonder the whole day as opposed to one period

Doing one subject a day will put strain on the teaching practice as we will then have the added task of fighting to keep our students mentally active.

If they are absent due to illness or a tangi, or for any other reason, the students will miss an entire weeks learning.

if all students turn up you could complete quite a bit of teaching or complete EOTC trips without disrupting other classes

I would question if this is good for learning? What is the evidence behind this idea? My major concern apart from the obvious potential for students to be away for that day (or if I'm sick for that matter) they miss an awful lot, but I think it's important for students to be thinking about and working on the subject I teach every day. They need consistent practice of skills and multiple opportunities to master content. I'd be concerned that they would only focus on each subject once a week and it would be difficult for them to build their knowledge and skills consistently.

TC teachers are not ready for this as it involves rewriting schemes/unit plans, thorough planning, innovative teaching/learning

How will this affect free periods. For example, if a teacher teaches Level 1, 2 and 3 in seperate sessions, is that 3 days they are expected to teach with no free periods?

Is it equally done for all subjects. How about subject areas that are currently  offered only 2 or 3 periods a week? Would they also be given a whole day too?
