A Trimester Schedule that Works is a guidebook for secondary
educators who want to maximize teaching and learning opportunities
in their schools. The book begins with research that supports a
trimester schedule and then begins to help readers understand the
change efforts and challenges associated with the redesign of the
school day. Several planning tools are included to lead readers
through the steps necessary to build the capacity for change and a
culture of collaboration. The benefits of the improved schedule are
then quickly divulged by the authors - increased time for core
content classes, a bonus period for intervention and acceleration
activities, opportunities for dual college/vocational education
credit, to name a few. Several case studies illustrate how middle
and high schools have transformed traditional settings into
thriving, high-performing schools, with collaborative teachers and
engaged students.
