With everybody running around trying to figure out what next year’s schedule will be, school principal Mr. Tim Teachey agreed to let me in on the information and behind the scene on next year’s schedule plan.
“I don’t know if the schedule will be changed at all next year,” said Teachey. “We arew working on getting information measured on test schedules.”
“Liking and most effective use of time aren’t the same things,” said Teachey.
With the word spreading around like the flu, students and faculty are trying to figure out what the schedule will be like next year. Will there be a 4×4 schedule [explain this in a sentence or two?]. An everyday a Monday schedule? The schedule that is already in play? The question is still being debated with the principal and faculty.
“Still as a faculty we are considering different options. We have not made a final decision but we have been collecting information from other schools about how their schedules work. Also, teachers from other schools have been coming to the school to talk to us about different schedules,” said Teachey.
It was all Teachey’s idea to change the plans of the schedule and how it would help students out more. [Did Mr. Teachey say this? If so, add , he said.
“I’m not enamored with advisory,” said Teachey. “Students spend 80 minutes a week.”
“One thing that the high school is neglecting is better use of time. There is really no control over time. I have asked questions. ‘Is advisory worth the time or what other thing can we be doing to make better use of time?’” said Teachey.
Teachey said while the teachers contemplate possibilities, a decision must be made by April 1.
“We have had many snow days which have made it hard to decide what to do and also the budget process will be making a big influence,” said Teachey.
“Whatever we decide will be a professional decision and better for the students,” he said.
