We teach in a block. Basically, we use the Big Blocks (4Blocks) framework with some variations. We have 84 minute blocks of reading and English Language Arts every other day (separate classes, so they get one or the other each day.) We have had ongoing training from instructors at Cardinal Stritch University here in Wisconsin. Their website is survivingtothriving.wordpress.com and has lots of resources if you take time to scroll and look around!
