Block scheduling aligns with the heart of Common Core and Project Based Learning instruction by creating a structure that lends to a student-centered approach. This allows students and teachers to tackle fewer subjects in greater depth. The latest research demonstrates that a blend of brief direct instruction and student-centered strategies are ideal in this learning environment.
