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

[WEIR Andrew]

We are in the process of changing from 4 * 75 over 10 days to something
else (NOT sure what yet) 

One of the things on the table is to change the External Sports program
we work with. This event alone has caused a lot of inflexibility in our
timetable as 6 out of 10 days can't have major events due to the Sport. 

 

We are also looking at improving Teaching andlearing across the whole
school so even look at junior literacy an numeracy class ie 40 of
Numeracy 40 of literacy then into normal classes.

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
