In our district we are on an alternating block schedule. We seem to have discussions on block scheduling at nearly all faculty meetings. For those of you on a true 4x4 I wanted some feedback on a couple of questions that repeatedly come up: 1) How do you deal with state assessments for those students who are not in a math, science, or English class for that semester? Is it a problem? 2) Is there a problem with students accumulating too many electives? For example, do the students who are in band or vocal both semesters for all four years receive 8 elective credits (or 16 if they are in both)? 3) How difficult is it for students who transfer into the district that was not on a true 4x4 or that was on a traditional schedule, or for those transferring out? I know there is no perfect schedule, but any feedback you could give me would be great! Thanks. London Reif Hoisington High School lreif@xxxxxxxxxx
