The Hidden Influence of the Master Schedule
Description:
At the heart of every school is a single document that can serve either as the greatest impediment—or enabler—of educational equity: the Master Schedule. Master Schedules dictate how schools allocate not just time, but resources. They determine which students are taught by the most experienced teachers, and whether students can access the classes or interventions that they need. The schedule can unlock potential - but it can also trigger troubling, unintended consequences.
