Advantages Of AH Open Sckedole For Students Thefollowingpointslistsome of the advantages of an open schedule: 1. Much more time will be available for individual teacher -student conferences. 2. More opportunity is provided for students to develop responsibility for their own learning. Students will be able to learn to schedule part of their school day. This will provide more efficient use of student time and better preparation for college or work. 3. There will be greater opportunity for students to learn at their own rate and in their own style. Those who need more work in the language laboratory, algebra resource room, art lab, etc., can spend more time there, but students who do not need as much time in these subjects will not be required to spend this time. They will be able to follow their .own special interests or needs. 4. There will be increased opportunity for students to try out various offerings of the school. For example, the open reading lab, open art lab, science laboratories, mechanical drawing laboratoris, social science and English resource centers -- including records, filmstrips, etc. It will be possible for the student who is not enrolled in a course in reading to go to the reading lab for help. If he finds he could benefit from further instruction in reading, he could then enroll in a reading course. 5. It will be possible to develop greater student involvements in v! small group discussions since groups of ten or twelve students willjbe scheduled. 6. There should be better and more efficient presentation of content in the large groups instead of having presentations repeated three to five times per day by each teacher. 7. All teachers of a course will be able to plan instruction in that course together. Regular planning meetings for all teachers of a course will be scheduled. 8. Teachers will be able to observe each other in the large group presentations. 9. Teachers will be able to make the large group presentations in the areas in which they have special competence. 10. Students who are able to handle more than six courses will be able to take extra course work during the regular school day. 11. Special courses could be offered for less than one year's credit of ten semester hours, e.g., Debate could be offered for one year for five semester hours instead of being concentrated in one semester which is necessary under the traditional schedule. 12. Students will be able to work in their areas of special interests with teachers who have the background in the particular area. 13. A more interesting and varied school day for both students and teachers is provided. 14. Better use can be made of teacher specialists, e.g., the freshman reading teacher. Instead of having tin freshman reading teacher work for three weeks with each freshman reading class, we will be able to offer reading to all freshman English students once per week for the entire year. Those students who need more work in reading will be able to get the additional help they lieed in the reading laboratory. 15. The counselors will be more available to the students. Students would be able to see their counselor during the open time. 16. There will be an opportunity to provide group counseling, if desired, since students will be available during the day. 17. ft will be possible to strengthen the development of mathematics and science understanding for those students who take only two courses in these departments. These courses could be offered over a fouryear period instead of two years. A student would then receive five semester hours of credit, each year instead of ten semester hours credit for each of two years. 18. Students who need special help could be scheduled to see a teacher for this help during the school day. 19. The use of community resources will be facilitated. It will not be necessary to have a speaker repeat a presentation seven times for all students to hear it. 20. The length of the period of instruction can be determined by the needs of the subject not the pre-determined fifty - five minute period. For example, laboratory sessions can be scheduled for eighty, <me hundred, or one hundredtwenty minutes, and reading classes can be scheduled for forty minutes instead of fifty-five minutes.
