  2. Standard, Description, and Rationale Page Standard #10 – Leadership and Collaboration The teacher seeks appropriate leadership roles and opportunities to take responsibility for student learning, to collaborate with learners, families, colleagues, other school professionals, and community members to ensure learner growth, and to advance profession. Name of Artifact: Current Issues in Education Project Date: April 16, 2013 Course: Education 101 Brief Description: For this assignment, we evaluated Year-Round School. We found the pros and cons to year-round schooling. We also examined the history of year-round school. Rationale: To document our understanding for Standard #10, Leadership and Collaboration, we collaborated together to understand Year-Round school. We included the pros and cons to a balanced calendar.

  3. History of Year-Round School • Offered for students to graduate earlier • Attempted summer school • Wasn’t popular in the great depression – cost to much money • In 1840 – school calendar changed to what we have today • Not having school in the summer prevented diseases

  4. For Year Round School • Students will remember more because they won’t take a long break • Most other nations only have 7 weeks of vacation • Americans have up to 13 weeks of vacation • Low income families can’t afford summer programs

  5. Against Year – Round School • Students lose the desire to learn if their isn’t a summer break • Need time to get their energy out • Studies show children need time away to rejuvenate

  6. Teacher benefits • Teacher flexibility • One long break teachers get worn out by the time you get to the break - burnout

  7. Other Facts • Statistics show that the U.S. is behind in education • Most countries do have year round schools • Easier for family vacations

  8. Your thought… • How do you feel about year-round education? • What do you see in store for the future of year-round education?
