There were complaints when we began, however with a year's experience,
all the teachers were satisfied. I will say one area of confusion we
had to nail down was what happens when a day was missed due to weather.
For teacher planning (guest speakers and the like) it is important to
stick to the pre-set day, and just let the rotation day drop (if 1/6 is
an "a" day in the schedule, and school is closed, 1/7 is a "b" day as
was originally scheduled NOT an "a" day).=20

Subject: Schedule
The Linsly School is examining scheduling alternatives to improve
student learning. One option is to rotate classes so that they no
longer meet at the same time, one the same day, all year long.=20
Week One
1st Period...Class A
2nd Period...Class B
3rd Period...Class C
4th Period...Class D
5th Period...Class E

1st Period...Class G
2nd Period...Class A
3rd Period...Class B
4th Period...Class C

Etc...Does anyone use this sort of schedule? Does it work for your
students?
Thanks,
