Brain-Compatible Teaching in a Block Schedule. ERIC. School Administrator v53 n8 p20-21,24 Sep 1996. Block Scheduling requires additional teaching strategies; i.e., establish relevance, hook students with short video sequences, dramatic skits, and simulations; schedule at least two learning activities per session, and capitalize on pulsed learning sequences, cooperative teaming, alternative learning options, and student variations. Hackmann, Donald G.; and Schmitt, Donna M. Strategies for Teaching in a Block of Time Schedule . NASSP Bulletin, v81 n588 p1-9 Apr 1997. Offers suggestions for developing creative instructional approaches in time-blocked classes. Teachers should continuously engage students in active learning, include group activities to encourage student participation, incorporate activities addressing multiple intelligences, use creative thinking activities, move outside the classroom, employ authentic assessment methods, and share resources and ideas with colleagues.

Geringer joined Senate President Boyd Eddins, Speaker of the House John Marton and other Republican leaders Friday afternoon for a joint press conference in the State Capitol to comment on the session. "I give them an 'A', both in product and in process," Geringer said. "We made history in the way we worked together," Senate President Boyd Eddins said. "It was the most open and honest session I've been involved with. And we laid in process a great system where we can take the same honest approach in education, correcti ons and other issues." "I've seen 14 years here," Eddins said. "This is my final year. What a great way to go out. I am very upbeat." "The primary work of the session was the budget. It is balanced, we have a surplus and we did it in record time," the governor said, noting that the $2.8 billion bill was sent to his office in 13 days.

State Improvement Grant Applications Funded in 2001 Wyoming Abstract Basic Information Improvement Strategies Return to Main Page Wyoming Abstract or Conceptual Framework for State Systemic Change The Wyoming State Improvement Grant (WySIG) project, "Project Readiness," proposes to build a systemic reform approach to ensure that all students, including students with special needs,, actively participate in the regular classroom as Wyoming moves to a rigorous, standards-based educational system. Students with disabilities will receive the core educational services and programs that will enable them to master all of the state standards, beginning with the graduating class of 2005 and beyond. The four basic components of this reform approach involve: Creating partnerships to implement this reform project. All the initiatives proposed for this project begin and end with standards. This project begins by identifying the needs of the student with a disability and then proposing and executing activities that ultimately help that student meet the standards all other students are expected to meet and be a productive citizen. To achieve that, changes will be made at the school level, LEA and the state level to help the student. The activities proposed in this project are designed and directed to achieve that goal. The ultimate outcome is to change policy at the state level by involving all the stakeholders and increasing the effectiveness of inclusive classroom practices by educators.

Our major objective is to help states seize opportunities to rethink the delivery of vocational education as they fulfill federal reporting requirements. For example, we help state agencies identify the types of data they must collect and set up the infrastructure necessary to efficiently report the information. MPR also works with state and local agencies to craft policy that will raise the quality of vocational-technical education programs so that all students are better prepared for a range of postsecondary options.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n National Conference on Teacher Quality - Exemplary Practices in Teacher Preparation Exemplary Practices B-11: Improving Pre-service Teacher Preparation History Wyoming is the ninth largest state by area with 98,000 square miles and ranks lowest in population with only 500,000 citizens. Wyoming's educational system encompasses one university, seven community colleges, and 48 school districts. The great distances between cities and the sparse population spread across the state create unique challenges for education in Wyoming. Technology can be utilized to address these challenges. The University of Wyoming, under the direction of Dr. Barbara Hakes, planned and designed a statewide compressed video system during 1989-91. This compressed video system was named the Video Education Interactive Network (VEIN) and was implemented beginning with 3 remote sites in 1992 and increasing the number of sites to 15 over the next two years. These sites include regional education and community centers and the community colleges. During 1998-99, this compressed video system was upgraded to the Tandberg Videoconferencing system and expanded to include over 35 community and educational sites and all 65 K-12 schools in the state of Wyoming. This statewide system can be utilized for the delivery of courses and to conduct on-line meetings for statewide task forces and committees. It can also be used for meetings with pre-service students out in the field during their junior and senior years during their practicum and residency in teaching semesters.
