TimetablesSharing ideas re timetables: in the average timetable (300mins):Literacy: 60-120 minutesNumeracy: 45-60 minutesFitness: 15 minutesAssemblies: 40-60 minutesSO not much time left once these are taken care of.Plus: Transitions 2-10 minutes each, 10 transitions. This is one area that can be tightened up to reduce time spent. 30 minutes a day?Speed up by drilling at start of year; lock students out if not on time (!!), make up time at lunch; give warning that transition is coming.Also, time getting to class after bell, 5 mins.Time is a precious commodity. Need to regularly re-evaluate timetable to make it efficient.Need to also be aware of what the children did the previous year, to provide curriculum coverage.Literacy Learning Progressions TKI.
