Flex Scheduling Archives - Page 3 of 6

Middle and high schools can use flex scheduling to provide time for students to get what they really need. There are many different forms of flex, including a flex period or flex block, WIN time, RTI time, activity periods and more.

At Enriching Students®, we have seen many examples of schools that have been able to help their students by means of a flexible period. They have been able to improve student achievement, help students catch up when they are struggling, make time for enrichment, and meet their students’ social-emotional needs. Our goal is to empower teachers to give students what they really need: time.

We hope you find the articles below useful! If you would like to learn how Enriching Students® can help your school manage its flexible time reach out to us by scheduling a demo.
