[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is high school block schedule too?[/quote] Of course! It's been that way in this area forever.[/quote] APS high schools implemented it relatively recently. It’s the trend in public education and current education theory regarding best practices. [/quote] Why is it considered best practice?[/quote] Like Lucy Calkins….[/quote] Is the idea that it encourages discovery learning by allowing time for exploration, group discussion, and projects? I suppose that's one way to reduce teacher-directed learning - make the class so long that teachers have no choice but to cut back their cumulative weekly instruction so as not to overload students in one sitting.[/quote]
