Culver
City Middle School: Schedule Two
years ago, the middle school transitioned to block scheduling, with
the goal of building small learning communities to address the diverse
student needs, and build a sense of connectedness among peers and adults.
We have grade level teams and coalitions to enable teachers to teach
the same students and have a common preparation period to discuss student
achievement and meet with parents. Block scheduling provides time for
cross-curricular articulation of key concepts and enables teachers to
plan interdisciplinary units. It has provided extended learning opportunities
for students to engage in projects such as science labs that allow students
to apply state standards to hands-on learning situations. For example,
seventh grade students construct models of the human brain and write
reports relating to the topic. This gives every student access to a
rigorous curriculum that incorporates all learning modalities and builds
curricular connections. |
