It offers ways to help advanced, struggling, aswell as the average student.

It helps promote better school culture.

It breaks the so called boredom for studentsand faculty. You can offer a variety of classes not possible

before. It limits the interruptions in the instructional

time. It has time for tier 3 teaching and remediation as

well as other benefits with RTI.


15/35

The resource period is used to make up work or test if a student is out.This eliminates teachers having to take time out of class to do this.

The teachers love the resource class in the middle of the day to break theday up for them. They also enjoy teaching a nontraditional type class.

It allows for a built in time for clubs to meet as well as assemblies, pep

rallies, etc It builds culture by pairing students with common interest. It lowers your discipline incidents and offers an additional discipline tool

if needed. You can implement a no zero policy by having students make up work

during this time if you choose to do so. If you have students move in that is behind, this will offer a much better

way of catching them up by allowing access during this time. It can be used for PLC meetings as well as department meetings, since

the classes can be covered much easier.

school during this time than I have the past 10years


17/35

This is great for students and teachers alike We enjoy the resource time

It breaks the day up and makes it go bymuch faster The 75 minute block is much more efficient

and easier to keep them motivated I like it because it allows time to make up

work without interruptions

of the week. In order to have each class meetseveral times each week, block schedules areoften mixed with fixed-period schedules. Thefollowing example shows how longer blockscan be mixed with shorter class periods. Inthis school, the goal was to assure that everyclass met four times each week.
