8-day rotational schedule alternating long-block days and short-block days.

Croton-Harmon High School in Croton-on-Hudson, New York adopted this schedule as a first move toward longer blocks, to give teachers and students time to practice the skills and strategies of teaching and learning in longer periods. Each cycle accommodates a session of the Student-Faculty Congress, one advisory group meeting, a daily 35-minute “helping period,” and a daily 40- or 45-minute lunch period.
