Across the country educators are facing the challenge of
restructuring the secondary school to meet the needs of students in
the twenty-first century. Block scheduling provides sustained time
and fosters an environment for active and experiential learning, a
key to student success in life. The author, who has spearheaded the
adoption of block scheduling in her school's library media center,
has prepared a complete guide for library media specialists
contemplating or moving to block scheduling. In preparing this
guide she has incorporated the experiences of twelve secondary
school libraries across the country that have also moved to block
scheduling. Step by step, this guide walks the library media
specialist through planning, networking, curriculum and
instruction, professional development, technology, and assessment.
Practical suggestions, forms, lesson plans, and case studies of
other media centers that have successfully adopted block scheduling
will help the library media specialist to make the transition to
the block. Block scheduling places a high demand on staff,
materials, and information technologies. Shaw stresses that
networking of people and resources is essential to successful
adoption of block scheduling. She takes the reader through the
planning and transitional phases of a high school adopting block
scheduling and addresses concerns about instructional change,
ongoing curriculum, and the role of the library media specialist as
a teacher of information technology. She provides ideas on where to
find professional development and how to network with other library
media specialists with expertise in the block and offers practical
suggestions on resource sharing, study hall, flexible scheduling,
budget, collection development, substitute teachers, and assessment
techniques.
