Neenah examining schedule The Board of Education may decide to air the concept in the community next fall By Susan Vanney Post-Crescent staff writer NEENAH Educators here are reviewing a proposal to offer fewer high school courses per day but add to the length of each course.

The change, which must be approved by the school board, would not take effect until the Neenah High School expansion is complete in the fall of 1996. A new schedule would give students more time to travel between classes once the Armstrong and Conant buildings are connected, said Principal Larry Lewis. But the concept of "block scheduling" also is a hot topic at schools in Wisconsin and across the nation. "Lots of schools are going to this because they think it's an advantage to students," Lewis said. "We have another side to this story and that's that we're working with a larger school.

So from my perspective, this kind of schedule fits us even better." With the proposal, the school day would be divided into five 70-minute courses with 10 minutes between each. The school year would be comprised of three 12 week trimesters. NHS currently has seven periods daily of 50 minutes each, with seven minutes for passing between classes. The school year is divided into two 18-week semesters. A 25-member high school committee has spent the school year studying the idea of block scheduling.

The committee recently, sponsored a faculty vote to decide between trimesters and another proposal for four periods daily of 90 minutes each. Trimesters were 1 favored by a 2-1 margin. The Board of Education has received the proposal and wants further study. "There are certain questions that we think need to be reviewed," said Scott Butler, chairman of the board's curriculum committee. "There is a short list of information we would like to get." Supt.

Richard Carlson will study the cost of implementing and maintaining the proposed schedule. Carlson also will meet with the chairman of each high school department to determine the positive and negative impacts on each subject. An area of concern with block scheduling is finding a workable solution for music and foreign language courses, which require contact with students all year long. Another factor for teachers to deal with is that class time per day is increased by 20 minutes, but the total time per semester is reduced by five hours. Pat Westphal, co-chairwoman of the high school committee, said the longer class periods will cause teachers to revitalize their lesson plans and teaching methods.

The total five-hour reduction in class time can be handled, as well. "A lot of people erronously think Life Insurance Vince Ste. Marie, Agent 1407 N.

there will be less content," said Westphal, a science teacher. "For me, I will use my time differently. I probably will not have a review day and a test day. I will have them on the same day. With that, I probably am going to gain time." "I'm very comfortable with this," she said.

"I may have a fresher student because of taking only five courses at a time. If a kid comes to me with a fresher attitude, I can make the program adjustments. One advantage to proposal, educators sav, is that dents are more focused and stressed because subjects to study at any one time. Another is students can take more classes per year. Classes that now are taught in one full academic year could be completed in two trimesters under the news system.

Where NHS students now can take a maximum of seven yearclasses, they could take up to nine with the new schedule. "We visited two high schools in Minnesota with block scheduling and the faculty wouldn't go back to the old way if they could," Lewis said. "Even the people who didn't like it before wouldn't Area high schools that will switch to block scheduling next year are Reedsville and Stockbridge. The Menasha High School faculty is considering the concept, as well. "We are hearing a lot of the positives and want to give it a close look," said Principal Robb Jensen.

"We hope to make a determination by November of 1995."
