Using Interdisciplinary Block Programming for Underachieving Pupils.
Embriano, Anthony J.; Ryan, Mark J.
NASSP Bulletin, v79 n569 p38-45 Mar 1995

Students were block-programmed, using four classes of 28 pupils each enrolled in six courses. The program stressed small-group activities and salubrious student-teacher interactions. (MLH)
