The average time frame that is provided for each unit that is to be taught is approximately four weeks. There are some units that average more than eight standards that are to be taught in a four week period. Do you think teachers have enough time to effectively teach content and students master it prior to them being assessed at the end of the school term on state standardized tests? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) No I don't think teachers are given enough time. I would suggest that you have take home assignments to enforce the knowledge. I would have a lot of activities that you can implement to ensure they retain the information being learned as well.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that take home assignments would help in this situation where time is an issue. Although this may not be a viable options for all students, as some do not have support for homework at home, it is good solution. If the in class activities are engaging enough, this may make the unmotivated students want to look at that homework. Nice suggestion.
