Is Your Block Schedule Improving Student Learning?
Many schools have shifted to a block schedule believing and hoping that by increasing the time in tested subject areas that they would meet their goals and that they would see an increase in test scores. While some schools see this improvement by simply changing their schedule, most do not. Join us to learn how instruction must change within the block to see student learning improvements!
This webinar will give schools a high level roadmap for the changes that must occur in order for the block schedule to have a meaningful impact on student learning.
