This practice is destined to show us and make us understand all the scheduling regulations we must take into account when drawing up a timetable, who draws it up, who approves it, the hours that must be assigned to important subjects, hours assigned to core subjects and finally, it puts us to the test to elaborate our very own timetable.
The preliminary ideas that I had about this lesson are the definitions of school timetable and who is responsible for drawing it up. Timetable means to have a series of activities organised and classified in certain time blocks. The Management Team is in charge of drawing up the school timetable. However, The Teachers Board and The School Board must be informed of this action before finally passing the information along to The School Management so that he can approved this schedule.
In this lesson we went through all the different criteria that must me taken in account when designing the schools timetable. We found many of these, but here are a few examples: The school will be open from October to May from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and June to September from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The weekly timetable for each school year must have 25 hours, distributed from Monday to Friday, including official breaks... We also had to state who draws them up and who approves them, which we already know. Another thing we learned were the bodies that can be consulted being these The Teachers Board and The School Board to make sure that they agree with the proposition of The Management Team. We also had to say how many hours are assigned to the most important subjects. With this we found out that t
he number of hours assigned to the block of core areas ( Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Spanish Language and Literature, Mathematics and First Foreign Language) has to be at least 11 hours and 15 minutes per week in each school year. Finally we learned that the number of hours assigned to core areas has to be a minimum of 3 hours. To finish this project off we had to draw up our very own timetable following all criteria. Here is the end result:
This was the hardest part for us. We needed to make sure that every single rule was followed. We need to work more on the fact that we don't know enough about the criteria that is set out. In this website that I found on Athar Khan explains first of all the meaning of timetable, the types that we can find and generate and finally steps to consider when making one for a school. These aren't criterias, these are steps. For example: you need to prepare a list, analyse it, be flexible, write tasks, etc There are many more and every one is detailed. Worth looking at. Khan, A. (s.f.-b). How to make a school timetable. Recuperado de https://www.toppr.com/bytes/how-to-make-school-time-table/ We already know now how to make a timetable suited for children, but what about teachers, they need one too. I found a website with unfortunately no author that tells you four steps on how teachers can build the timetable that suits them. If the teacher isn't organised, they will most likely be nervous with everything everywhere giving the result of not being able to teach in an orderly fashion. Therefore, even though this piece of information isn't mentioned in the power point I thought it would be useful just to have it in mind.
School timetable for children should be colourful or give to them to decorate. When a child or students looks at a boring colourless timetable they won't want to do it where as if they have it painted as they wish, they might be a little more excited. What do you think?
