We completely have the freedom to block schedule... and right now we were
actually thinking about students having the same teacher for reading & writing,
with a total time of 150 minutes (90 minutes for Reading Workshop and 60
minutes for Writing Workshop). Students would then have a seperate teacher for
Science, Social Studies, and Math.
We are very interested in not using a textbook, but doing novel studies, and
small group instruction. Within that model however, what do you think is most
important for middle school students to get in terms of whole group instruction?
Thanks so much for the advice & resources!
