Top: Society: Issues: Education: Education_Reform
| Because this is a sub-category of the "Issues" catalog, submissions to this category should be geared toward the news, politics, and policies of education reform. If your site deals only with a new curriculum idea, teacher training or development, or something of that nature, you may wish to submit to the Reference/Education category. |
Education reform is mainly about changing 'traditional' educational practices or policies, presumably for the better. This may include changing teaching methods, administration, textbooks, schedules, curriculum, and grouping and promotion practices, for example. As time goes on, new issues come and go, but all would be considered 'education reform.'
Block scheduling is the practice of having classes about twice as long as 'traditional' classes, meaning about 90 minutes instead of 45 to 50 minutes. This means that students meet with a teacher half as often as during a 'traditional' schedule, but they get about twice as much 'contact time.' This kind of schedule has about 3 variations and is increasingly being used throughout America. Some people like it, others hate it.

Year round schooling has been proposed as a solution for many problems, from slipping academic performance to unsupervised children during the "summer vacation" months.
