Extended Learning Time by Karen Freed https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t What are your thoughts on offering ELT for your students? Would you recommend against ELT and if so why? Would you recommend offering ELT at your school, and if so why? What approach would you use? en-us 2017-11-15 23:12:58 UTC 2025-11-08 08:37:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png Angie https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929298 I personally do not want to teach in the summer because that is the time I have with my family.  I think that if teachers are willing to teach summer school, and students need it, it is great for students who are at risk of falling behind.

I would be interested in trying the staggered schedule. 6 weeks just for science fair projects :-) mara_levine https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929316 2017-11-16 22:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929316 Lindsay brenner_linzi https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929323 I like the idea of an extended school year. Let's not make learning so exhausting that students need 2 months to recover. Instead, let's let learning be fun, experimental, engaging...we can set up learning experiences for students.]]> 2017-11-16 22:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929323 Samantha https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929390 I would like for students to have the option for ELT, but not make it mandatory. Students who are in need can get the help.]]> 2017-11-16 22:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929390 Ashley https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929392 I actually think that ELT is great, however I do believe that students can learn better in and/or outside the classroom. The delivery and method of learning is extremely important versus the time in some situations. ]]> 2017-11-16 22:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929392 Elza Some students need more time to master their concepts. So I think EL is necessary to close the achievement gap. https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929586   ]]> 2017-11-16 22:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/k_freed/dfuj0sib8v7t/wish/207929586
