Elementary Instructional Planning Guide
Education Resource Strategies
All students deserve the time and space to learn across all content areas—but not every schedule affords students the same opportunities. A school’s schedule reflects a school’s values and sets the priorities for what students and teachers should care about. When designed strategically, a school’s schedule enables empowering student and teacher experiences that lead to improved student outcomes.
Our new Elementary Instructional Planning Guidebook was created to help elementary school principals and their teams create school schedules that meet the learning needs of every student in their building.
The guidebook highlights priorities, decision points, tools, and real-world models that school leaders can use when building school schedules. It also elevates considerations for the time and resource trade-offs necessary for implementation. Each decision point section provides actionable steps for managing scheduling considerations that leaders of all types of schools face.
