Video Download [https://drive.google.com/file/d/14ySRDoDq79hllOPLCVqXLFLiRmEndyW7/view?usp=sharing] This one of the easiest places in a trimester to have creative scheduling. The key is common classes offered each year and two sets of options in alternating years.  This is one of many trimester videos I put together during the Covid lockdown. This was used with a school in New Mexico. These are still very relivant and have lots of information. I have a full complement of videos for each department and admin.

School Improvement Episode #48 How to a foreign language in a trimester.

Video Download [https://drive.google.com/file/d/18EjD6BztRtrUzB_prb-R8NqIv1bOkno6/view?usp=sharing] This one of the most difficult things in any schedule to teach. Without question it has the greatest summer regressions issues. In large schools it can be taught each term and do 3 parts ( 1A, 1B and 2A) in one year. However, this puts lots of preps in the schedule and large schools have enough staff to make it more managable for the teacher. A native speakers policy is the key to helping boost the numbers for a level 3 and 4 program. I recommend using CLEP testing for students who are able to get to those 3 and 4 levels. This is one of many trimester videos I put together during the Covid lockdown. This was used with a school in New Mexico. These are still very relivant and have lots of information. I have a full complement of videos for each department and admin. There is more available upon request.
