The Problem

OpenSciEd wasn't built for block schedules

45

Minutes per lesson

OpenSciEd lessons are designed for standard periods. Block schedule teachers get nearly double the time.

6

Units per year

Six complete 7th grade units to adapt, each with dozens of lessons that need reworking for longer blocks.

5+

Hours per week

Teachers spend hours combining lessons, filling gaps, and creating activities that fit 83-minute periods.

0

Tools that solve this

Generic planners don't know OpenSciEd. Distributors don't adapt for block schedules. SciBlocks does both.
