More of scheduling. Mary Bryan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri Jan 21 10:22:54 1994 From: Hatteras School <hatteras@micronet.wcu.edu> To: mebryan@tenet.edu Subject: ROTATION CLASSES Mary, It's a terrible thing to be locked into ROTATION! A colleague in this county at a middle school was trapped in it for several years until more courses began to be offered: Spanish, Business Careers, Technology. Our school is K-12 so for a long time I didn't have to do it because of conflicts. Then I got into it 2 years ago. I offered a course in Hypercard and limited the number of students. It was fun. This year the middle schoolers could sign up for "Assistants" as a rotation. This means they are assigned a teacher to help. So I have got some great 7th graders last period of the day to help with shelving, filing, etc. I give them one free day to mess around with computers. This works because of having the elementary. But middle school teachers have lots of clerical and cleanup work the kids could do. And you could use the help. A lot better than teaching "skills" out of context. Buena suerte.
