In this lesson we see that it shows us that we can find three types of management in schools. The first type is space, the second types is time (it also explains various characteristics and groups) and finally, the third types is material resources.
The preliminary idea that I had about this lesson is the following:
I had a rough idea on how the time table was organised. I simply applied a little logic to figure out that what happens is that they take into account the pedagogical aspects in order to build it. What I mean by this is that they have to realise what subjects are best taught at what time for children. In this sense we can say that at first hour on a Monday morning it probably wouldn't be a good idea as they will most likely be tired and won't concentrate properly. It might be better doing a subject that doesn't require as much effort when it comes to thinking, for example music.
In this unit I have learnt the importance of space in a school, this being that it must be convertible, multipurpose, varied and expandable. Moving on to time management, I have learnt the various functions of a school timetable, the criterias it must follow, the types of timetables, the provisions and the hours it has to fit within, the best way to organise the timetable and its subjects based on a pedagogical aspect, etc. The last thing I have learned is the schools resource management. School resources are the personal and material elements of schools. We can divide resources in the following way:
- Centre's own staff resources: these comprise teaching, non-teaching and specialist staff such as counsellor and doctor.
- Other staff resources: these comprise staff who can help or take part in the centre's activities in certain cases.
- Centre's own material resources: this refers to the furniture like tables, chairs, shelves...
- Other material resources: these are the use of museums, monuments, exhibitions, parks...
The hardest part for me to understand how to elaborate from scratch a timetable suited for a certain school. I understand the many aspects we need to take into consideration pedagogically and the time that it must incompase according to the amount of hours students attend school. For me the issues is that in the powerpoint it doesn't mention how to physically elaborate a timetable. I thought this was necessary as one day we might need to have a saw or even complete one ourselves. Here is a site written by Athar Khan. This person tells you all the tools and objects and methods you need to take into consideration. For me, it solved all of my issues.

I can generate a little information about the school hours of all levels of Spanish schools and their days of festivity. I came across this link when trying to understand the timing of the schedule according to the Spanish law when I came across this website. This is just a bit of information to allow us to understand other time slots that don't necessarily affect school directly, but It was something that I thought could be used just to finish off that global idea we have about time.

I found this really funny image that got me thinking about which would be the best schedule for primary school children.
