For students that struggle in reading, writing, or math, it would not be appropriate to not have direct instruction in those areas for extended periods. ]]> 2021-03-01 18:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1254897535 kelseykoenig https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1254906533 The more I think on this schedule, the more I think this would be a great schedule for us. We all get equal minutes, we all get some blocked days for bigger activities/projects, and we all get the consistency of starting and ending each week with all students.]]> 2021-03-01 18:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1254906533 katepavlisin https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1254916311 I am concerned about the lack of consistency for students that need  structure.

Works great for project/performance based classes. We can plan on doing those items on the longer days. Lots of great potential with this. Also, would allow school events or teams to have bigger chunks of time on block days. https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1255435214 2021-03-01 20:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1255435214 I like the first one pictured above. We've done that here at WMS before and it feels comfortable and doable. We know this model works. https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1255440803 2021-03-01 20:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1255440803 This is way outside of the box and feel like if we wanted to try it, now is the time! The number of transitions concern me. https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256209707 2021-03-02 01:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256209707 I like the idea of kids having the opportunity to take classes at different times of the day. Some kids do better in the morning...some in the afternoon. https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256217707 2021-03-02 01:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256217707 Love the variety within one week! Teams have the ability to block other days at times too. https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256221162 2021-03-02 01:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256221162 I think pack/seminar is a priority in whatever schedule we create. So many boxes can be checked within the daily check in with a small group of kids (homeroom for announcements, academic support, SEL, etc). It will free up an elective for some I think. https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256230250 2021-03-02 01:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1256230250 Flexibility https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1258727643 This type of schedule allows for the most flexibility.  Students would be able to give input year after year about the types of Collaboration Classes, and the middle Enrichment block would provide the ultimate in flexibility.  Students would have Core classes for the same amount of minutes a year.  They would end up have 3/5 Pentamester of core.  Then they would take 1 ELA Collaboration Class and one STEM Collaboration Class.  Students who struggle - would have enrichment block help. ]]> 2021-03-02 15:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1258727643 A Great Compromise https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1258751054 The best part of block is the longer time to do more Project based learning, labs, Socratic Seminars etc.  The worst part of block is going long periods of time without seeing kids because of every other day, PD days, long weekends, etc.   This schedule allows for longer periods daily.  

Also, We have learned this year, that a lot of students are able to keep up with our curriculum with only coming 1/2 days every other day.  

School is long, boring, and too drawn out for a LOT of our kids.  This type of schedule breaks up the long never ending year long classes into exciting packets of instruction to master and move on.

3 pentamesters - 7,000 minutes, 
Enrichment Contact time. - adds more minutes.  I wonder if the Performing Arts could figure out a way to utilize the the extra time in a different manner. This seems much better than an 80 minute block every other day. Or seeing kids every other day for 50 minutes. It's a wealth of time. ]]> 2021-03-02 15:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1258799026 carolynday https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1258960665 Elective classes would actually lose minutes in this schedule ]]> 2021-03-02 15:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1258960665 https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1259734817 I like the idea of rotating, but am not sure we'll get the full benefit if we aren't able to rotate between mornings and afternoons due to traveling teacher schedules. ]]> 2021-03-02 17:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1259734817 https://padlet.com/kelseykoenig/x50m9ym1tv43bs5k/wish/1259740934 This schedule feels comfortable.
