Our instructional schedule will change from 45 minute classes everyday to 75 minute classes every other day. Over the course of the year, we will lose 10 instructional hours with this new schedule. However, there will be a shared 30 minute block every other day with shared English skills being taught by all educators.

Any thoughts or experience with a block like this?
