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!) In the case of whether I feel like teachers have enough time to teach I definitely do not think that we give them enough time to teach. It is extremely difficult for teachers to try and teach everything that we need to teach because we still have other subjects that we need to each and there definitely is not enough time in the day for us or even for our students and also for us to make sure they are understanding the information we are trying to teach.
