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.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact block scheduling has on (a) student academic achievement, discipline, and attendance, and (b) administrator, teacher, and student perceptions. The study compared 2005-2010 data from a high school utilizing the A/B block schedule and a high school under a traditional schedule, in one suburban school district. The study used mixed methods. The quantitative data described, analyzed, and interpreted reading and math FCAT [Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test] scores, attendance rates, and discipline referrals from 2005-2010. A total of seven repeated ANOVAs were conducted to analyze the difference between the two schedule designs with respect to two achievement indicators; reading and math FCAT scores. The qualitative data offered a voice to administrators, teachers, and students, and was gathered through individual face-to-face, email, or phone interviews. The quantitative findings for the study yielded the following conclusions: (1) students experienced higher FCAT reading scores on the A/B block schedule than the traditional schedule; (2) students experienced higher FCAT math scores under the traditional schedule than the A/B block schedule; (3) attendance rates decreased for students under the A/B block schedule and increased for students under the traditional schedule; and (4) discipline referrals decreased at a higher rate for students under the traditional schedule than students under the A/B block schedule. The administrator, teacher, and student perceptions contributed to the following qualitative findings for the study: (1) block scheduling fosters extended learning sessions when properly planned; (2) with fewer transitions discipline issues decreased; (3) attendance was not affected by the block schedule; (4) block schedule allows for the implementation of various instructional strategies; and (5) transitioning from a traditional to a block schedule was thought to be difficult at first, but attainable, and would alleviate any feelings of being rushed. Four appendixes present: (1) Florida High School Report Card; (2) Interview Questions; (3) Participant Consent Form; and (4) Parental Permission Form. (Contains 22 tables.).

Brown and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine whether or not there is a correlation between block scheduling and improved campus climate, block scheduling and improved teacher and student work life, and block scheduling and increased student achievement. The middle school being studied, Twin Peaks Middle School, adopted a block schedule for the school year 2002-2003. Data was collected from researcher observations, student and staff observations, informal discussions among student and staff members, student discipline data, GPA data, administrator, teacher, and student surveys, and insights gained from participation in an Alternative Evaluation Team by the researcher. The degree of improvement was determined between the 1st and 2"d quarters of the 2001-2002 school year (traditional schedule) and the 1st and 2"d quarters of the school year 2002-2003 (block schedule). Student discipline data indicates there has been a decline in infractions resulting from classroom, hallway, and bus behaviors. The school population reports feeling more relaxed, less rushed, and more in control of where individual time and energy is being spent. As of result, perceptions of overall campus climate and teacher and student work life appear to have improved following the move to block scheduling. The researcher concluded that at this point, there is not enough conclusive data available to make an informed decision as to whether or not block scheduling will indeed have a positive impact on student achievement.

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 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.

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.
