As it stands, power hour will be postponed for one year while we get into the new schedule. This is a chance to share. sgarrett8 https://padlet.com/sgarrett8/a1f83ewljatm/wish/149422907 2017-01-25 18:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sgarrett8/a1f83ewljatm/wish/149422907 https://padlet.com/sgarrett8/a1f83ewljatm/wish/149440888 I think the POWER hour would be a great added addition to the late start and 1 to 1 initiative.  It would allow students to have opportunity to get assistance for the 1 to 1 initiative from me or other teachers out side of class rather than using class time to solve technology issues.  Perhaps some individuals could be placed on a technology/power hour duty instead of lunch/power hour duty....

just some thoughts

I would rather go ahead and change the schedule now rather than two years in a row, as everyone else has suggested. I also agree that 90 minutes class can be sacrificed to 85 minutes easily since we are meeting with students daily in most classes. I think 5 minutes to change classes is enough time. 15 minutes is a lot of time. 10 min, MAX. https://padlet.com/sgarrett8/a1f83ewljatm/wish/149723541 2017-01-26 19:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sgarrett8/a1f83ewljatm/wish/149723541
