Draft Master Schedule:
I am attaching a draft schedule for 1st quarter. I've had input from several staff members, but I would like everyone to preview, discuss with your team, and let me know...Remember this is only a draft...
My goals:
* Create additional team time
* Provide a prep for each teacher each day (some teachers have
different preps than others in the same grade level; however, each quarter will
switch, so it does all balance out with computer and counseling).
* Keep prep time the same time of day as much as possible (In
order to keep a running schedule, Wednesday is a bit of a hodge podge but
everyone will have a prep--teachers will still be required to go out with kids
during running).
* 3rd, 4th, 5th will have a block of media time--librarian will
not only teach library skills, but will also provide computer research and
technology use, including digital devices--kids in all grades will also check
out books during library time. (There will also be open library time for kids
to check out books beyond scheduled time and for teachers to use with classes)
* Computer class will be a teacher prep where kids learn
computer skills and utilize educational software (There will be computers
available for teachers to use with classes during the day as needed).
* Blocked focus group time--this is for reading class switch
based on abilities for skills being taught. Specialist and EAs will also
help these groups during non-teaching/non-prep time.
* Provide character education in all grades
* Focus group time for math will also be added, but teachers
will determine when that best fits in their schedules.
