ELEM: Scheduling

[Julia Anne Colvin <colvin@AAPS.K12.MI.US>]

Dear Colleagues--
        I will be providing 54 min. of release time @ to 14 K-5 teachers
this school year.  Since the time must be provided in blocks of at least 28
minutes, I have 2 choices: 54 min. blocks or blocks of 35-40 minutes, the
balance (14-18 min.) being an extra book exchange time tacked onto another
"special."
        I'm leaning toward 54 minute blocks, primarily in the computer lab,
for grades 4-5 (no lab teacher this year.)  But what's the best choice for
grades 1-3?  Are there other alternatives?
        In the past I've had a fairly fixed schedule, but had the freedom
from providing release time for most classes, which I took in smaller
groups for 1/2 hour periods. I am employed full-time, with half of that to
be used for release time.
        --Anne
