fewer contact minutes, less content covered: How will these students do on APs & SATs?
(Internet: FLTeach, http://www.cortland.edu/www/flteach or gopher.cortland.edu 71) * more time needed for planning * need to learn how to plan * need to learn new methodologies * need to increase repertoire of games, activities, etc. * student absence: 1 day = 2 class periods * teacher absence: adequate substitute plans * homework: students not taking on the extra responsibility Students: Disadvantages * some teachers still lecturing, very boring * absence from school; difficult to make up work * every-other-day schedule, subject not fresh in the mind * field trips discouraged because too much course work is missed Administrators: Disadvantages * hard to find students during the day (office, guidance, etc.) * hard to keep track of absenteeism since absent student does not see the same first block teacher until 4 days later * hard to distribute memos and notices jaco3@earthlink.net ====================== 96/11 From-> MRS BETH DAMASCUS
