Planning For Block Scheduling

Abstract Chapter nine in the book Meet Me In The Middle focuses on how to schedule and organize a lesson fo the students. The chapter focuses on the fact that teachers have about eighty minutes with their students, so they should maximize the experience and the learning ability of the students. How can we do this? Well, one of the suggestions is to make a schedule for the class and writing it on the board so that the students understand what is going on for the day. The chapter also goes over two forms of assessment, formative and summative. We are given suggestions for both types of assessment.

Reflection I thought that this chapter was interesting, but I knew a lot of the stuff that has been mentioned to me before in classes. I feel like the book that we read from in the education classes we take have a lot of the same ideas in them. However, I did think that it was helpful to learn about the block scheduling and how it works. We did not have block scheduling in my middle school, so it is good to learn about.
