Tumble

Varying period lengths

Staff use-block time

School within a school

Continuous intake programs


17/35

Using time: friend or foe

Time can be re-

organized to provide

alternatives remember teachers

have a 225 minute

daily average and

students 300 minutes


18/35

Adjusting time

You can reorganize time in a rotational

timetable so that some periods are different

length at the end of a cycle, teacher instructional

time averages 225 min/day

the following example uses 60 minuteblocks


19/35

Moving minutes around

Borrow 15 minutes from each of your four

regular 75 minute periods

put the 60 minutes into a 5th period (repeatperiod or Multi-Instructional school focus)

add a four day rotation and now each class

can have a double period or use it to supporta school focus or student success
