The 4:4 Block System: A Workable Alternative.
Wilson, Cheryl
NASSP Bulletin, v79 n571 p63-65 May 1995
A southwest Arkansas high school is meeting teachers' and students' needs with a reorganized 4:4 block schedule that changes the traditional arrangement (7 55-minute classes daily for 180 days) to 2 terms with 4 90-minute classes per term. Teachers can teach a concept, work with it, and discuss results in one class period. Students have homework in only three or four subjects. (MLH)
