Creating Responsive K-12 Schedules

The landscape of schools is complex and those charged with leading face many difficult decisions. Perhaps one of the most wide-reaching decisions a school leader makes is that of the master schedule. The schedule is a tool leaders can use to design unique and creative programming specific to their school and their students. It is the one thing that truly affects everyone from start to end times, lunches, buses, parents, students, teachers, and even volunteers. The power of change that can be released from a well-developed schedule is like no other in education. It is a collective responsibility driven by a compelling why and executed through a thoughtful how and what. To realize the potential and responsibility you have in building the schedule, join in on our journey of seminars to explore where your schedule can go.
