What is Extended Learning Time? Additional time added to or built into/on to to the current school day. Often for additional instruction in literacy and math.
Problem Where to find this time, due to: Union restrictions/ teacher buy in State/Credit Requirements Facility/Bussing Issues Sports/ Extracurriculars Attendance Transportation
Strategy Extend the School Day Ron Karsen, Principal of Dayton Street School in Newark, NJ We decided that we needed to build in more time for content areas during the day and also support teachers and help build their content capacity. To build in more time, we changed the whole school day: now, it’s from 8: 35 a. m. to 4: 35 p. m. every day. We doubled the time for math, doubled the time for language arts, and ensured that students had the opportunity to take an hour of science and social studies every day.
Positive/Negative Extend the school Day Positive Negative Additional time for instruction Difficult for transportation Time to double math/english May exceed union time Credit recovery/intervention Sports/E. C. late No guaranteed impact
