Ted Blake, past principal of Ashboro High School, shared concepts of a concentrated curriculum in semester scheduling on Wednesday, Januarys in the school's media center. The curriculum, copied horn a Colorado high school format, is scheduled as "four ninty minute instructional blocks for ninty days that allows students to complete eight courses per year and a total of32 units of credit during a four year period of time," said Blake. The desired outcomes include: greater opportunities for students promotes the success of students, creates an environment that promotes positive relationships, improve the quality of instruction, attack interruptions in die instructional day, and promotes students' success by be cot* courses ln the four period day all teachers should have only three ninty minute planning period with approxiately seventy or more students to teach per teacher. The four period day provides for extended lunches plus ten minutes between class changes. "There are 49 North Carolina high schools presently operating on the ninty minute scheduled day." Blake said. There are also unexpected outcomes of the semester approach which include less textbooks, more units offered, reorganization of teaching materials and scores probabl y will not be affected. There also will be less students in core classes and increase of elective to cboose from and an increase of N.C. scholars Two Two waivers may exist within the program. There will be a waiver of the units required for students, and a waiver for the number of units for athletic participation. Although programs have their advantages and disadvantages and change can be difficult, Purnell Swett High Schoolis willing to accept the challenge to improve educator) for its students through the new semester scheduling and curriculum . _ Ml CaptDavid G.
