Designing for a Block Schedule

from The Balance, by Dr. Catlin Tucker · host catlinthebalance

In this mini-episode, I explore strategies for designing effective block periods. Transitioning from a traditional 6- or 7-period day to longer blocks can feel overwhelming, but with intentional planning and the use of content blocks, you can create dynamic, engaging lessons. Learn how to balance direct instruction with student-led activities, mix individual and collaborative tasks, and keep students engaged throughout the entire block. To read more about this, you can check out my blog on this topic!
