Work Session: Block vs. Period - Make a comparison chart – pros and cons of each Block Scheduling Defined – students attend 4 classes daily. Usually, the classes last for 1 ½

hrs. Similar to scheduling in college, as the classes are longer. Since the classes meet for twice as long as usual, each class may only last a single semester. A student may take biology one semester, then algebra the second, for example. In some cases, a student may take courses for the entire year but will only attend each class every other day. For example, she may have biology on Monday and algebra on Tuesday.

Period Scheduling Explained – (traditional schedule) a student takes up to 7 classes a day. Each class usually lasts about 45 minutes and the student takes the same class for the entire year. For example, a student will take the same biology course from September until June. She'll take algebra at the same time every day and throughout the entire year as well.
