Variables Impacting the Creation of the Master Schedule

The group is made up of members that use both the 6 Day Schedule and the Monday to Friday Schedule

Advantages of the 6 Day Schedule

• Contact time is not lost when days are missed for Public Holidays etc.

• It allows for integration of all subjects, allowing students to choose courses they actually prefer.

• Weekly changes keep the schedule dynamic for teachers and so prevent a sense of monotony.

Disadvantages of the 6 Day Schedule

• Lends itself to a longer cycle because of breaks and disruptive events

• Calendars of Events are on a week by week basis, while the 6 Day Schedule does not operate in this manner.

• Sometimes leads to confusion as to which day is which.

• Where Art and Craft are taught at a particular Level, students cannot be exposed to both areas simultaneously

Issues Faced on the Schedule (Present Day)

• All classes from the same Levels do not have an identical number of sessions

• Number of subjects offered at each school varies

• Visual Arts is compulsory at 1st and 2nd Forms for some schools

• There is not an equal distribution of students per course

• Schools’ options (what course clashes with Visual Arts, what does not, etc.) vary

• Course options may not allow students to take Visual Arts

• All students may not be exposed to Visual Arts at all Levels

Reasons for Scheduling Adjustments

• Special requirements for students working at different levels (Influx of Level III students in schools)

• Matching teacher qualifications, experience and expertise to students at different Levels (1st to 5th )

• Teachers have to be fit in based on the Master Table

• Personal Visual Arts Teachers’ timetables must be adjusted for a more effective Department.

• A need for communication between teachers across all levels with regards to material covered.

• Interests of the teacher that may conflict with working at a variety of levels (attitude and perception)

• Unequal period scheduling at particular Levels

• One teacher having classes at different Levels at the same time.

• The maximum number of periods a teacher should teach per day.
