I think that larger class loads could be managed by having students come in pairs and using some class/advisory time. It's really opened up the type of work that I can assign and how much improvement I've seen in students' written work. Let me know if you end up trying it!Anna Blinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960574914938362477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537494321067959493.post-9466045081919888352015-11-13T17:56:36.392-08:002015-11-13T17:56:36.392-08:00Such a great idea!

How many students do you have? I'd like to implement this when I get back from maternity leave (using class time, advisory time--which I can do because I have 9th grade for that too, and maybe some after-school).

I wish more teachers had time for it. In our current climate, though, we teach 5 or 6 different classes of 35 or more students. Even meeting them 2 at a time just wouldn't be possible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225893287005413834noreply@blogger.com
