Rethinking the time spent at school: Could flexibility improve engagement and performance for students and teachers?

5 August 2023 1,811 No Comment

Is it possible to reduce the time students spend in classrooms and schools? Would such a reduction be better for learning and retaining teachers? How should learning be more flexibly enacted in the post-pandemic era? Why are some schools have moved to 4 days a week?

Jim and I wrote this article to discuss the possibilities of rethinking school participation and calls for schools to reconsider the necessity and costs/benefits of forcing students and teachers to be physically present in schools for the traditional 5 days a week. It was published in Prospects  and you can read the whole article here.
