The Operation of the Flexible All-Year School Plan. A Simulation Notebook.
McLain, John D.
The flexible all-year school plan provides for the school to operate all year, on a continuous basis, during regular school hours and school days except holidays. Under such a plan, a student need not attend school all year, or any longer than the amount of time required by law, but he may if he so desires. When a student enrolls in school, he is expected to remain in attendance during regular school days except at those times he is scheduled to be on vacation. Each student's study-vacation plan is scheduled on a personal basis. Such a flexible time schedule essentially mandates that the instructional program also be individualized. The flexible all-year school plan combines the features of year-round education and individualized instruction. This document focuses on the research-demonstration model of the flexible all-year school which became operational last fall at the research-learning center of Clarion State College in Pennsylvania.
