What Do Teachers in California Have To Say about Block Scheduling?

Staunton, Jim; Adams, Teresa

NASSP Bulletin, v81 n593 p81-84 Dec 1997

Of 150 Huntington Beach (California) high school teachers participating in a survey on block scheduling's efficacy, 106 (70%) took time to make written comments. Teachers enjoyed having less up-front lecturing, more one-on-one interactions with students, and a less hectic schedule, but had concerns about interruptions and continuity/student-consistency issues.
