Time management and organizational strategies
THE EROSION OF TIME :
•   School calender.
•   Intructional time.
•   The pace of instruction.
•   Teacher time-on-task.
•   Student time-on-task.
PRISONERS OF TIME :
The National Education Commission reported ,in
 April 1994, that schools were very much
 controlled by the clock and that true school
 reform must re-examine the allocation and use
 of time o, the schools. The report came up with
 eight recommendations as the rudder of a
 school reform:
Reinvest school around learning, not time.
Fix the design flaw: use time in new and better ways.
Establish an academic day
Keep schools open longer to meet the needs of
 children and communities.
Give teachers the time they need.
Invest in technology.
Develop local action plans to transform schools.
Share the responsibility: finger-pointing and evasion
 must end.
BLOCK SCEDULING:
• What is a Block Schedule?

   On a Block Schedule, the length of class periods gets
  doubled. For example, students attend four 90-minute
  classes each day rather than six 50-minute classes
  each day. Because of the increased time in each
  course, a student can complete a traditional year's
  worth of study in one semester. This allows students
  to take more courses throughout a school year and
  opens up the possibility to study either a wider range
  of elective subjects or more depth in a particular
  subject such as science, math or history.
Advantages of block scheduling:
 Extra time supports more project-based learning and more learning
  activities.
 Teachers see fewer students each day and know them better.
 Time permits more cooperative and hands-on learning.
 Greater depth and breadth of content is possible.
 Less time spent in between class transitions.
 Opportunity for providing more individualized instructions.
 Blocks allow time for more and more one-on-one teaching and
  evaluation.
 Teachers ‘planning time is longer and more feasible.
 Students have less homework each weekday.
 Blocks allow more time to integrate technology into instruction.
Disadvantages of block scheduling:

•   Teachers face the challenges of holding students’ attention.
•   Teachers must have a variety of instructional skills.
•   Teachers have to spend more time with exasperating classes.
•   Students lack daily reinforcement of content.
•   Students find it harder to catch up after absences.
•   Impact on achievement is still questionable.
•   Teachers may end up teaching more courses in a year.
•   Student transfers between schools are more difficult to handle.
•   Blocks may decrease participation in extra-curricular
    activities. (largely due to schedule conflicts with academic
    courses).
Time management and organizational strategies
Six tips for minimizing classroom interruptions.

 Carry a stopwatch for a day or a week
 Let the world know that intrusions are not welcome
 Hang out a sign outside the doors, such as Important
  Learning in Progress or Please do not disturb : Learning in
  Progress
 If doors or windows provide too many visual distractions,
  rearrange the furniture to face away from the distraction
 Let other teachers know that sending students to borrow
  supplies during class is not welcome. Be tactful but assertive
 Conduct a well planned, organized lesson, have the necessary
  materials ready before class begins.
Teacher time robbers:
Teachers usually suffer from the activities that they most
  frequently cite as keeping them from doing their job better.
  The following are examples of those activities:
 filling out forms, paper work.
 repeating directions.
 dealing with unplanned interruptions.
 doing clerical tasks , photocopying.
 handling classroom behavior.
Classroom routines:
Here are some specific routines some teachers
 find helpful in running their classrooms daily
 activities.
Taking attendance.
Distributing and collecting materials.
Regaining students’ attention.
