Book excerpt: The call for reform to raise student achievement has required educators, school leaders, and researchers to look for new methods to improve the learning process. One method used increasingly is block scheduling. Block scheduling is the restructuring of the school day into classes much longer than the traditional 50-55 minute class period. The purpose of this study was to determine high school principals' and teachers' perceptions of block scheduling in Mississippi high schools in three areas: achievement, attendance, and discipline. Many theorists believe that a person's perceptions form the basis of reality for that person. If a teacher believes that block scheduling is effective, then for them, it is effective. Because some theorists believe that there is little to be gained from general studies that compare the objective results of block scheduling with the objective results of traditional scheduling since these comparisons have shown mixed results, this study addressed the social validity of block scheduling which is the extent to which participants perceive the worthiness of block scheduling. The research design used in this study was a cross sectional survey design. A researcher-developed survey instrument was used to collect data from teachers and principals in Mississippi high schools that had implemented block scheduling in the last 5 years. A total of 22 schools were used for the study. A 5 point Likert-type scale was used to measure respondents' perceptions of the effectiveness of block scheduling on the three areas. While both principals and teachers appeared to have positive perceptions of the impact block scheduling has on student achievement, discipline, and attendance, principals had a more positive perception than teachers in all three areas. Both groups appeared to believe that student discipline was the most positively affected area, while attendance was the least positively affected. Recommendations based upon the findings of this study included conducting: (a) studies that include a larger sample of principals, (b) studies that identify student perceptions of block scheduling, and (c) studies to determine how important staff development is when implementing block scheduling.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of Secondary School Teachers' Perceptions of Block Scheduling by : Vern Mamon

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The purpose of this mixed method study was to examine the perceptions of public secondary school teachers regarding block scheduling and to identify the perceived advantages and disadvantages of using the block schedule in three secondary schools in one suburban school system in Georgia. Perceptions of teachers were obtained from data collected from a 23-item survey and three focus group discussions. The study concluded that secondary teachers' perceptions of block scheduling were generally favorable. However, some teachers did firmly support some statements on block scheduling. The study suggested there is not a significant difference in teachers' perceptions based on grade level assignment and professional development experiences. However, teachers with 11-15 years of teaching experience had more favorable perceptions of block scheduling than teachers with 6-10 years of teaching experience. Qualitative data were collected from three focus groups. A third party conducted one focus group in each of the three schools with a total of N = 21 participants. Themes were developed by combining responses from the N = 3 focus group sites. Teachers had mixed impressions of block scheduling. However, cited advantages far outweighed the disadvantages. Themes included: 90-minute planning period and better relationships with students. Disadvantages of block scheduling included less time for parental involvement and condensed curriculum content. Recommendations for further research to include: a large scale study be conducted that includes all Georgia secondary schools; a more comprehensive study be conducted that includes students, teachers, administrators, and parents; a study be conducted on the influence of the block schedule on student success in college and/or the workplace; future researchers conduct empirical studies of student achievement in content areas in schools utilizing the block schedule.
Book Synopsis The Efficacy of Block Scheduling by : Wanda Richie

Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain insight into the teacher perceptions of the block schedule in comparison to the traditional schedule. High school teachers from two school districts volunteered to complete a Likert-scale survey and answer three open-ended questions as well as participate in interviews about the effectiveness of the block schedule. An additional element of the study was to compare the responses from two different schools: those teachers new to the block, School A; and those teachers who had experienced the block for multiple years, School B. A look at school data provided additional information as a possible support of the teacher perceptions. Overall, teachers from both schools expressed positive perceptions of the block schedule. School B, the school with more experience in the block, had a greater percentage of teachers communicate positive perceptions of the block. School data supported the positive teacher perceptions as well.
Download or read book Block Scheduling written by Don C. Adams and published by R & L Education. This book was released on 1997 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adams and Salvaterra show how block scheduling can help teachers become more creative in instructional strategies and find higher satisfaction on the job. Students' grades improve, they can complete more courses and administrators and faculty can become more student-centered, discussion-oriented, and focused on complex academic tasks. Staff development and continual training throughout the change process are keys to implementing successful changes. Block Scheduling will help each school find its own pathway to success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of both regular education and special education teachers concerning the impact that block scheduling has on the social, emotional, behavioral, and academic growth and success of high school students with an IEP in three school districts in south central Pennsylvania. The study also investigated whether teachers perceive block scheduling as a positive or negative factor in the effective education of high school students with an IEP. Data were collected through an online survey that included Likert-scale questions, open-ended responses, and one-to-one interviews. Forty-four regular education teachers and thirteen special education teachers from three public school districts in south central Pennsylvania participated on this survey. The findings of this study suggest that regular education and special education teachers both perceive, at comparable degrees, that block scheduling provides the time to build better relationships within their classes, allows teachers to better understand their students with an IEP, go deeper into the content, while providing a school climate that is slower and less chaotic. Even though there were many similarities, there were also discrepancies in the perceptions between regular education teachers and special education teachers when asked if the grades of students with an IEP improved in the block schedule.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare middle school teachers' perceptions on student learning in A/B block schedules and traditional schedules in schools with grade configurations of 6 through 8. Responses to the survey were disaggregated by schedule type and years of teaching experience within groups and between groups. Middle school teachers in the A/B block schedule perceived their schedule had a greater impact on student learning on over 90% of the survey responses. In addition the A/B block schedule teachers perceived their instructional strategies were more diverse than the traditional schedule middle teachers. While professional development demonstrated significant differences between the two groups, the differences were not as many or as large.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if the teaching strategies found in one public high school in south central Pennsylvania were consistent with the recommended teaching strategies deemed effective, in a 4 x 4 block schedule, by the review of literature and to evaluate if the intended teaching strategies were consistent with those observed in the classroom setting. The perceptions of twelve certified teachers in the content areas of English, mathematics, science, and social studies were surveyed using a Likert-scale. The perceptions of the appropriate use of student-centered and teacher-centered teaching strategies and lesson design were obtained. A Background Questionnaire and a Pre-observation Questionnaire were used to obtain data related to lesson design, use of time, and the intended use of specific teaching strategies. The final data collection instrument was an Observation Form that was used by the researcher to record observed teaching strategies and time use. The teaching strategies were coded as student-centered or teacher-centered and the time used for both categories was calculated. A comparison was made between the participants' intended teaching strategies, the observed teaching strategies, and those deemed effective by the review of literature.

Book excerpt: BLOCK SCHEDULING IN AN ERA OF COMMON CORE CURRICULUM: ACASE STUDY OF ADMINISTRATORS’ AND TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONSFOR CLASSROOM PRACTICES AND ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENTThe landscape of modern educational practice in the United States features aterrain that is often jagged while still being predictable in nature. The needs of studentsare varied and complex and despite the challenges faced, most leaders in the field ofeducation agree that schools should be a place that is preparatory, challenging, andengaging. In recent years, there has been a great amount of discussion and theorizing onhow to increase academic engagement within the classroom to the depth that mostprofessionals agree is needed. Through this case study, I examined block scheduling in ahigh school as a vehicle for increasing academic engagement. I studied teacher’sperceptions and understandings of strategies used to increase student achievement whichultimately led to defining academic engagement through behavioral, cognitive, andemotional lenses. With a holistic definition, I was able to study the impact of blockscheduling on academic engagement in the classroom. This case study employed the useof Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching (Danielson, 2013) as a lens forviewing the teacher’s role in securing proper engagement within the classroom andBloom’s taxonomy revised (Anderson, 2001) to determine the complexity of studentwork. I considered both the current climate and trends of education in the United Statesas well as the culture of the community in which the study was conducted. Qualitativedata regarding the effects of block scheduling on academic engagement were collected through individual interviews, observations, and analysis of artifacts particular to the casestudy site. Through synthesis of the data collected, I determined that although a blockschedule requires continued targeted professional development and by itself may notenhance classroom instruction, it can prove to be impactful on fostering meaningfulteacher-student relationships leading to a positive school climate.
