Responsive Scheduling (NEW)

• This is a 1-hour training to understand how to use the Responsive Scheduling module to add more flexibility in your school day throughout the year.

• Responsive Scheduling tools allow schools to establish a special period of the day as focused instruction on a particular topic, referred to as an Offering. These offerings should be considered as additional instruction time. A teacher can offer a session for those students in an English class the chance to make up a missed test, while other students in that English class would be scheduled into a different offering of their choosing or their teacher's choosing.

  This period of the day can happen multiple times a day, for an entire day during the week, once a month, once a term, etc.

• Sometimes referred to as Flex Time, Intervention Programming, Enrichment Courses, etc. It allows schools to be more flexible when it comes to course offerings and meeting the needs of the student, whether that means more one on one time or advanced learning opportunities, or an option to take part in learning something new.

• This session is mostly to go over the possibilities with Responsive Scheduling and gauge interest in the tool/process.
