All Day Subject Blocks by ferguson https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e Please list pros and cons to this idea en-us 2018-05-17 01:52:58 UTC 2024-12-08 12:38:14 UTC hello@padlet.com The question is about a new timetable structure that would mean you would see your seniors for an all day session, once a week. ferguson https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261431290 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]]> 2018-05-17 01:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261431290 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 https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261432885 2018-05-17 02:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261432885 What if they are away for that day. That's a whole weeks of learning missed. https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433019 2018-05-17 02:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433019 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. https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433126 2018-05-17 02:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433126 Attendance could be an issue if a student is away a whole day. https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433178 2018-05-17 02:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433178 Could "capture" students on days they attend school in particular subjects https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433942 2018-05-17 02:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261433942 Last Minute Timetable Flipping https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261437087 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
 ]]> 2018-05-17 02:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261437087 Definitely against this idea Miss_Wells https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261438102 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. ]]> 2018-05-17 02:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261438102 Whole Day with Seniors https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261438928 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.

]]> 2018-05-17 02:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261438928 woah how would that work for multi level classes, needs more thought. https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261440096 2018-05-17 02:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261440096 Would make it easy to track what work has been missed https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261440391 2018-05-17 02:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261440391 What if either teacher or student away for the day? https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261444842 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???]]> 2018-05-17 03:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261444842 https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261447463 this will make it harder for us to meet attendance challenges as truants will wonder the whole day as opposed to one period]]> 2018-05-17 03:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261447463 https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261447664 can our relievers handle this]]> 2018-05-17 03:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261447664 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. https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261451417 2018-05-17 04:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261451417 Monotony + auto-pilot mode = Low Productivity https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261451641 2018-05-17 04:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261451641 https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261453139 If they are absent due to illness or a tangi, or for any other reason, the students will miss an entire weeks learning.]]> 2018-05-17 04:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261453139 if all students turn up you could complete quite a bit of teaching or complete EOTC trips without disrupting other classes https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261455433 2018-05-17 04:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261455433 you would need to structure catch up classes more often https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261455705 2018-05-17 04:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261455705 less time wasted with students moving to other classes https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261455978 2018-05-17 04:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261455978 This may support a greater emphasis on attendance https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261457537 2018-05-17 04:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/261457537 https://padlet.com/ferguson/aq8jvjezx14e/wish/262212779 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.
