The Unlocking Time Project: Results & Case Study

Description:

72% of principals say they lack the necessary time & staff support to lead their schools effectively. So why do most schools still use traditional schedules & calendars that don’t meet their needs? Unlocking Time, a Gates Foundation-supported project, has collected data from over 4000 schools across the nation to answer the questions: how are schools using time today, & what can we learn from schools that are reimagining time in a way that better aligns with their values and priorities?
