EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ A Davenport West High School student started a petition against the new eight-period schedule that will shift entry-level CTE classes to 45-minute periods, saying 45-minute classes do not allow enough time for hands-on learning and safe skill building. School officials said the new schedule provides the same total instructional time and will begin next school year. The Quad City Times
- ➤ A Davenport West High School student started a petition to keep entry-level CTE classes at 85 minutes after the board voted in September to adopt a new eight-period schedule with most courses switching to 45-minute blocks. Cory Carter said the longer class period gives students more time for hands-on learning and better safety outcomes — and he hopes school leaders will reverse the change for next school year. The Dispatch Argus
