Dr. Michael D. Rettig will focus on high school scheduling possibilities. He will share many different models of scheduling, discuss the pros, cons, costs, and research related to these models, and outline an adoption and implementation process. Schedules to be discussed include the following:
- Six, seven, eight, nine, and ten-period scheduling plans,
- Rotating and drop schedules,
- Alternating day block schedules,
- The 4X4 semester plan,
- The 3X5 trimester plan,
- Hybrid models which combine features of several basic schedules,
- Structures that provide time for intervention and enrichment, and
- Plans for credit recovery and rescue, which may assist overage and under-credited students.
Time will be spent dealing with a variety of details including designing bell schedules, serving the needs of special populations, evaluating scheduling plans based upon an individual schools mission and goals, etc.
