Question 24 Does your district need to have block scheduling as a necessary part of School-to-Work implementation? If so, can you please explain. STW Wizard Strategies Strategy 1 Minnesota School-To-Work System indicators are guiding our education reform efforts statewide. The partnership and/or education district should decide if block scheduling will improve the way that the performance indicators are being addressed. The state of Minnesota School-to-Work (STW) Initiative is providing technical assistance, but is not giving blueprints or mandidates such as block scheduling is a necessary part of STW implementation. You should check with your state school-to-work office to find out what your state's policy is on block scheduling, and then check with your local school district. Strategy 2 I am not sure I am clear on the question so feel free to call me at 202/401-6226 if you would like to discuss further. Block scheduling is not a prerequisite to School-to-work (STW), however a number of schools implementing STW use block scheduling (eg. Roosevelt Renaissance High school in Oregon).
