What is ‘WIN Time’?

Have you heard about any schools using ‘WIN’ time? W.I.N. is an acronym for ‘What I Need’ and this accurately explains the purpose of this time period. ‘WIN time’ is a flexible period of time many schools have added to their schedule to provide extra help or enrichment opportunities for their students.
