Abstract | High schools today face problems of culturally diverse student populations, diversity of student learning styles, and a growing public perception that high schools do not adequately prepare their graduates for either work or college. This paper offers an extensive review of literature on block scheduling as well as a handbook for gaining support for implementing block scheduling at a 4-year high school. It provides tips for moving to a schedule of 90-minute block classes that provide the time needed for student-centered instruction, which is essential for meeting the needs of students in today's global society. The handbook is comprised of six sections, the first of which contains an annotated bibliography of five items--a journal article and four Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) documents on block scheduling. Sections 2 through 5 present strategies for building support among the teaching staff, students, parents and community members, and the school board. A chronology of steps and a timeline for block scheduling are provided in the sixth section. (Contains 47 references.) (LMI) |
