[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The TPMS scheduling committee researched this issue. There are only 4 other MCPS middle schools with 8 period schedules. (Others may appear to have 8 period schedules, but count lunch as a period. Most MCPS middle schools have 7 instructional periods.) Those 4 other schools all have higher staff-student ratios than TPMS. TPMS could have gone to a 5 of 8 schedule if class sizes were increased by 4-6 students. Most teachers felt this was not an acceptable trade-off as it would significantly diminish the quality of instruction to add 4-6 students to every section.[/quote] So the other block scheduling schools have teachers teach 5 periods but make the class sizes larger? How does that work with block scheduling? They each reach 2.5 classes? [/quote]
