Parent Forum: Schedule for 2016-17 Maximizing our Potential Model Laboratory School

Forum Objectives Inform our stakeholders of the following: Why there is a need for a different schedule. Educational and curriculum needs considered. Look at schedule options. Field Parent Questions

Why a different Schedule? The Big 3 Shared Staff MS – 6 core Teachers HS – 9 teachers 8 teachers are shared between both MS & HS Current MS/HS schedules are not compatible to maximize the use of shared teachers Maximizing time block versus year long period classes Time with instructor Block = 120 hours 50 min – year long = 144 hours Curriculum Needs of Students Beginning course details and/or books/materials needed for a class/project.

Curriculum Needs Curriculum Needs of Students Novice Reduction Gifted and Talented Advanced middle school students taking HS courses End of Course (EOC) classes need more instructional time Curriculum gaps created due to block classes Loss of continuity Novice Reduction Students not meeting benchmarks Special Education/504 students Career Readiness Alignment of schedule allows for Career Pathways for students Dual Credit Allowing students opportunities for EKU classes Credits for graduation Beginning course details and/or books/materials needed for a class/project.
