• Formerly known as Co-Curricular Period and
  Activity (CCP/CCA)

The New Format Provides

• Every day occurrence
• Includes an advisory period
• Includes tutoring

ELT New Structure

• Basically, ELT will allow all teachers to see
  their regular classes for extra mini-session.
• In a nutshell, this will place an additional 30
  instructional minutes daily back into the week.
  

4
Mondays Through Fridays

• On these days, teachers would receive back
  (during ELT) one of their normal classes.
• This will be set up according to a pattern which
  will loop through a two-week time period.
• The pattern will be based on periods
• The Pattern 1A 3B 5A 7B 2A 4B 6A
  8B then 1A Advisory for Special Lesson. Then
  1B 3A 5B 7A 2B 4A 6B 8A then 1A
  Advisory for Special Lesson.
• We will always try to build in at least a small
  time for ELT, even on special schedule days.

Points of Order

• This is a two-week pattern that is NOT set by
  weekday
• With this looping pattern, students will see each
  of their classes fairly regularly over a two-week
  time period.
• A Day and B Day schedule runs normally.
• A missed day (such as a snow day) simply bumps
  the pattern to the next school day. (This is the
  same way we handle A/B Day when we have a snow
  day. If Monday is supposed to be an A Day and
  school is cancelled, Tuesday becomes the A Day.)

What Occurs During This Time?

• Tutor
• Make up work
• Small group work
• Enrichment of your content area
• Extensions of your content area

• Learn study skills
• Extra class time to complete assignments
• Activities that you have not had time to do in a
  while.
• Fun parts of the curriculum teachers do not have
  time to do in class anymore

8
What About Tutoring with other teachers?

• During ELT time, other teachers may sign up
  students to come to make up work or for extra
  help as we did last year.
• This will give you even MORE time to make up work
  or get extra assistance.

Advisory Period

• The Advisory Period is your A Day-Period 1 Class
• This class will remain the same all year.
• This Period will occur occasionally throughout
  the year.
• During this Period we will
• Complete PBIS or Olweus Lessons
• Complete School Business, as needed
