ELEM only: flexible, fixed or mixed?

["Odile M. Heisel" <oheisel@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

Dear group,
Sorry to bother you again but I think this question is easy to
answer.  I am doing a research proposal on flexible vs. fixed
scheduling for 3rd and 4th graders.  I would greatly appreciate
it if library media specialists for 3rd and 4th grade students
could email me directly and indicate whether those grades are
scheduled in a fixed, flexible, or mixed way.  Mixed would mean
some teachers have library instruction times that are
flexible and some teachers are fixed.  Flexible would
mean that library instruction is flexibly scheduled, and fixed
would mean library instruction is on a regular weekly or
similar schedule.  I am interested in Library instruction only,
not book check out.
It would be great if you just wrote in the subject line fixed,
flexible or mixed (pick one) then you could leave the message
blank.
I am hoping to get an idea of what percentages exist before I
write the research proposal.
That's all!
TIA
Odile
