Our middle school has adopted a partial block schedule. We use 80 minute periods for the core classes (Math, Science, Lang. Arts, Soc. Studies). We then split other classes into 40 minutes (advisor/advisee, electives, math skills, etc.
I may only see students every other day for Social Studies, but that 80 minutes still flies by and makes projects run a lot smoother.
