Yes! There have been discussions with teachers and students about our schedule for next year. It has not been finalized, but I think it is good to have healthy discussions about things that will impact student learning. We are currently on a modified A/B schedule and are possibly looking into other types of schedules for the 2013-2014 school year.
I do believe a great schedule has common planning periods built in for subject area teams. For instance, if you teach English I or Algebra II you should be off at the same time as teachers that teach that content area. This allows time for these teachers to talk about student learning. I also believe a great schedule has time built into it for flexibility. Maybe it is time for UIL practice, or intervention, or SAT prep, whatever the case may be it will help students grow instructionally.
Above all, I am confident in the great teachers at Corsicana High School. They are working extremely hard to ensure that our students are getting the best education possible!
Go Tigers!
Home of Champions!
I bet the conversations are wide-ranging and very interesting.
Yes sir!
