Case: 160 day calendar
A school has decided to go to a 160 day calendar. Some teachers feel that this time limit will hinder some students with their progress in school. Other teachers have expressed how much they have enjoyed having a longer summer and shorter school year. The system has chased power standards to be taught at each grade level. Should the teachers who disagree with this decision express how they feel now, or should they wait to see how students perform on state assessments?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The individual county should offer a parent, student, and teacher survey to the school system stakeholders. At least three calendar options would be made available to choose from. The survey could also include questions related to family vacation date preferences and feedback regarding the positives and negatives of a more balanced school calendar. This survey format could allow teachers specifically to share their insight and possible concerns on the shorter school year consideration. |

| Comments: I think a survey that involves students, parents, and teachers is a good idea, because you gain multiple view points and teachers can still have a word in it. |
