Get insights on the needs and opportunities with time, and explore strategies for innovating around time and schedules

Use Unlocking Time’s assessment to get insights on the needs and opportunities with time, and explore strategies for innovating around time and schedules.

Unlocking Time is a national project that empowers K-12 school leaders to adopt new time strategies that fuel student-centered learning. The project will provide new insights on how U.S. schools structure their time, produce a rich set of resources to help K-12 school leaders align time and resources with their values, and provision administrators from eligible high-need schools with new master scheduling tools and services to implement new time-based strategies.

The site has several resources for schools and educators looking to maximize time for learning in schools:

• School Time Assessment: Through a private link administered to school staff, the free School Time Assessment helps schools discover how the school calendar, bell schedule, academic programming, and staff time can fuel student-centered learning.
• Schedule Library: Explore various types of schedules that schools are implementing, with details of variations, implementation considerations, and advantages of each.
• Time Strategies: Explore various strategies, spanning from the classroom level to the school system level, for innovating around time to maximize student learning.
• Resources: Find other resources from partners who are also creating resources and providing services related to Unlocking Time.
