FCPS’ Revised Format for 2012 Extended Learning Time (ELT) Formerly known as Co-Curricular Period and Activity (CCP/CCA)
The New Format Provides • Every day occurrence • Includes an advisory period • Includes tutoring • Includes enrichment with the possibility of STEM activities • Definite structure • An accountability factor for students
ELT New Structure • Basically, ELT will allow all teachers to see their regular classes for extra mini-session. • In a nutshell, this will place an additional 30 instructional minutes daily – back into the week.
Mondays Through Fridays • On these days, teachers would receive back (during ELT) one of their normal classes. • This will be set up according to a pattern which will loop through a two-week time period. • The pattern will be based on periods • The Pattern: 1A – 3B – 5A – 7B – 2A – 4B – 6A – 8B then 1A Advisory for Special Lesson. Then: 1B – 3A – 5B – 7A – 2B – 4A – 6B – 8A then 1A Advisory for Special Lesson. • We will always try to build in at least a small time for ELT, even on special schedule days.
Points of Order • This is a two-week pattern that is NOT set by weekday • With this looping pattern, students will see each of their classes fairly regularly over a two-week time period. • A Day and B Day schedule runs normally. • A missed day (such as a snow day) simply bumps the pattern to the next school day. (This is the same way we handle A/B Day when we have a snow day. If Monday is supposed to be an A Day and school is cancelled, Tuesday becomes the A Day.)
What Occurs During This Time? • Tutor • Make up work • Small group work • Enrichment of your content area • Extensions of your content area • Learn study skills • Extra class time to complete assignments • Activities that you have not had time to do in a while. • Fun parts of the curriculum teachers do not have time to do in class anymore
What About Tutoring with other teachers? • During ELT time, other teachers may sign up students to come to make up work or for extra help as we did last year. • This will give you even MORE time to make up work or get extra assistance.
Advisory Period • The Advisory Period is your A Day-Period 1 Class • This class will remain the same all year. • This Period will occur occasionally throughout the year. • During this Period we will: • Complete PBIS or Olweus Lessons • Complete School Business, as needed
