  1. Time Analysis Tools Colorado Department of Education May 23, 2013

  3. Expanded Learning Time Rethink Redesign, Significantly More Time More Time Used Well 300 or more additional hours for all students or the equivalent of 180 8-hour days 1440 hours Analyze and improve the use of all time in the school day and year Start from scratch. What would the best day and year for students and teachers look like?

  4. Why More Learning Time? More Time Benefits BOTH Students and Teachers Achievement Engagement Effectiveness More Time to Raise Student Achievement and Teach to Common Core More Time to Provide Rich Engagement Offerings for Students More Time to Collaborate and Improve Quality of Instruction

  6. Conducting a School Time Analysis

  7. STAT & Categories of Time 0 min 1950 min Weekly Allocated School Time per Week Purposed Time Non- Purposed Time Academics and Support Non Core Academics Other Academics and Support Non Core Academics -English -Math -Science -Social Studies -Foreign Lang. -Tutoring -Remediation -Targeted Supp. -Other -Phys. Ed. -Art -Music -Computers or Technology -Community Building -Advisory -Other -Lunch/Recess -Homeroom -Transitions between classes -Study halls or Homework -Other -In class transitions -Misc. interruptions -P.A. announcements -In class transitions -Misc. interruptions -P.A. announcements

  8. How does the STAT Work? STEP 1: Enter students’ start and end times, days per week, and days per year STEP 2: Break down how time is allocated across a week for a “typical” student STEP 3: Make estimates about lost instructional minutes within classes due to daily interruptions STEP 4: Make estimates about lost instructional hours throughout the year due to special events

  9. How does the STAT Work? • STEP 5: View your school’s results. Print/save a copy of your report PDF. STEP 6: Complete the STAT by submitting it to NCTL. Print or save your report prior to submission. You can always log-in and view your submitted reports.

  18. From Analysis to Action Use the STAT to begin conversations at your school about the time it will take to get to success for your students. Use the CTAT to determine how teachers are using time in their classrooms. . . . start with a robust planning and redesign process that brings together school leaders, teachers, union leaders, parents, and community organizations to redesign the school day.
