Horace's Fridays.
Murdock, Linda A.; And Others
Educational Leadership, v53 n3 p37-40 Nov 1995
On Fridays, rather than changing classes, the students at one middle school spend all four team periods with one teacher/adviser as they pursue intensive, independent quarterly learning projects in either science, math, social studies, or English. A program evaluation showed improved student engagement, independent learning, thinking skills, and time management. (MLH)
