RE:TIME SCHEDULE FOR AB
Posted: May 11, 1998 3:23 PM

Plain Text

I teach in a district where half of the schools are teaching on a 4X4 block
schedule, and the AP courses (all of them) are retained for the full 180-day
school year, with the 90-minute class period. Students are scheduled into a
"research" class for the second term (semester).

This has created some minor stirrings about "equity", as our students have
more contact time prior to the AP exam, but you're never going to achieve true
equity.

I can forward a copy of our master schedule later this week or early next (the
ink isn't quite dry yet . . .)

Hope this helps!
