Scheduling

Your relationship with the person who makes up the master schedule is the most crucial factor in achieving a favorable schedule for your Teacher Cadet class.

Pitfalls to Avoid in Scheduling Teacher Cadet Classes:

• Against Advanced Placement, IB, or other “singleton”  or required classes
• During lunch times at elementary schools (usually late morning)
• During the last period of the day because elementary schools may have already released students for the day
• At times when it is difficult for students to get to a field site and back – for example, during periods of heavy traffic

Better times for scheduling Teacher Cadet classes:

• First period
  Students can go to assigned schools from their homes and get to the high school by the beginning of their second class.

• A class near lunchtime
  Students may be able to travel during lunch break so they can arrive at the field site on time or return in time for their next class.
