[Year 12 IT Apps] Not sure where to ask this?

[Judee Hobbs]

We also changed to 4 by 72 minute periods on a 3 week timetable so more
subjects can be included. Confusing about the 3 weeks but MUCH better than 5
or 6 periods a day. I did not want the change initially but now I would
never want to go back. Just need to vary the activities a bit for classes
like Maths. Perfect for IT - less time wasted settling down and logging-on
etc. and the kids can remain concentrating for the whole time.

Where I'm at had an immensely successful change from a 6 period day about
(45min periods) to a 4 period day (72 min) over 10 days, 2 years ago. It was
a beautiful case study in change management. As predicted, the overwhelming
majority of staff say "Why didn't we do it sooner?" Which is satisfying when
you remember how the sky was going to fall in if we did.

The benefits to the whole school far out-weighed the disadvantages to a
small number of (mainly practical based) subjects. The new timetable was
adjusted to make allowances for these (double 72 min periods, but fewer). No
timetable is going to be perfect, but we found this to satisfy the majority.

 

Cheers

Cameron

Good morning,

 

very sorry to ask on our IT list, but can anyone help me as to where to ask
the following question:

 

Does your school run a 4 period, 6 period or any other period timetable and
what do people think abou! t their school's TT structure?

 

My school is going through a process of timetable evaluation and I was
hoping to help with some feedback for our leadership team.

 

Thank-you kindly and sorry as I know everyone is very busy,

Litsa xo
