Abstract
The PUSD
White Paper (policy paper) on Time and Learning is an analysis of
both the Time and Learning Literature Review and the Teacher
Discussions Findings, conducted during the school year 2001-2002.
The intent of this document is to provide research-based
information to students, parents, teachers, policy makers, and
community members in the Poway Unified School District for dialog
regarding how to restructure time to enhance student learning.
This report identifies three key time-related issues: (1)
Schools should be structured around learning instead of time, (2)
If students are to meet or exceed the Poway Unified Standards,
students will need more focused and uninterrupted academic time,
and (3) Allocation of more professional time is needed for
students to meet or exceed the Poway Unified School District
Standards and recommendations to address these issues.
