Dr. Rettig has served as a consultant on school scheduling issues in 41 states with over 750 school districts nationally and internationally. He also has conducted hundreds of workshops and has authored or co-authored numerous articles and books on school scheduling and related topics.
The creation of an effective school schedule is a key component of every middle school principal’s work. While many different personnel should be involved in the process, to delegate this responsibility is to abdicate the role of instructional leader. Based upon 35+ years of experience working in schools across the country Dr. Michael D. Rettig, professor emeritus from James Madison University, founder of School Scheduling Associates, and co-author of Scheduling Strategies for Middle Schools (Eye on Education, 2000) will review a variety of unique middle school scheduling plans. After a discussion of eight key questions that must be answered before creating a middle school schedule, a variety of possibilities will be presented.
