Block Schedule Teaching Strategies: A Toolbox of Effective Teaching Ideas

Block scheduling is an educational reform trend across the nation. Ever since the National Education Commission on Time and Learning published its report, Prisoners of Time, in 1994, educators have been re-examining the school schedule in an effort to maximize instruction.

School districts are re-arranging bell schedules to meet state education standards as well as to accommodate student learning styles and multiple intelligences.

With the implementation of the block schedule, teachers need to adopt different teaching strategies from those they used in the traditional 45-minute class periods. They need to engage students in the lesson with not just the standard lecture, but with activities that get students out of their seats, but still learning.

This printable report contains lesson planning tips from block scheduling expert Robert Lynn Canady as well as a toolbox full of innovative teaching strategies that will make the extended block schedule period fly by.
