TRIMESTER SCHEDULING

Trimester Study Team Goals Develop a schedule that would enable students to meet the new Michigan Merit Curriculum requirements Promote rigorous course selections Build in academic support for the students who need it Provide students the opportunity to enroll in elective courses

Trimester Study Team Tasks Conduct visitations Research information through the internet Attend workshops Hold conversations with districts who have used the trimester schedule Evaluate our findings Consider the needs of all stakeholders

High School Schedules Considered Traditional Day – (two 90 day semesters, ½ year courses, 6 periods, 5 period teaching assignment) 7-8 Period Day – (same as above, 5 or 6 period teaching assignment) 4 X 4 Block Schedule – (4 90 minute classes, change at semester, meet on alternating days, several hybrids of this schedule in use) ABC Rotating Day – (4-8 periods rotate at different times each day of week, periods vary in length of time) 3 X5 Trimester - (5 classes per day, 3 semesters, longer class periods, 4 period teaching assignment)

Trimester Schedule Basic Facts School year is divided into 3 trimesters (terms) with each term being approximately 60 days in length Students take 5 classes per term that meet daily Classes that meet for one term are equivalent to a one semester class Classes that meet for two terms are equivalent to a year long class Some classes might meet for 3 terms Students have the potential to earn 7.5 credits per year

Trimester Schedule Advantages More choice for students (7.5 credit options) Possibility of 1.5 credit classes (AP, Music) Reduced daily student/teacher load More credit recovery possibilities More credit acceleration possibilities Less stress/more time to build relationships Students and teachers deal with fewer classes per term Instructional time is similar to our current schedule Aligned with athletic schedules No final exams following a major break

Trimester Schedule Considerations Staffing issues (i.e. costs, highly qualified) Effect on 8/9 core curriculum Teachers’ contract School calendar/daily time schedule Scheduling software Prorating of graduation credits Curriculum compacting and instructional pacing Daily time schedule conflict with OTC/OSM Tech Staff “buy-in” to concept Classes that will meet for 3 terms Transition issues Standardized testing timeline/window

Trimester Schedule Staffing (CHS) Staffing formula  1878 students x 15 courses over 3 semesters = 28,170 seats over full year ÷ 29.0 student/teacher ratio = 971 sections for full year ÷ 12 (4 classes taught each semester) = 80.9 FTE (78.0 current FTE) = +2.9 FTE needed  29.5 student/teacher ratio = +1.5 FTE needed  30.0 student/teacher ratio = +.2 FTE needed
