Schedule
Common Planning Time for STEM Teachers
Provides an opportunity for continual
collaboration
A/B Schedule
Alternates Physics and Technology Classes Smaller Class Sizes for Extending and Refining
Activities
Allows for the flexibility to meet as a whole for
presentations
Allows teacher to encourage active participation
from EVERY student
Altered Schedule for Wisdom Wednesday
