Master Scheduling for Maximizing Course Selection
Mike Neubig
PurityStudent Purity
The percentage of students in each SLC specific class who are actually in that community:
• should be above 90% in grade 9• should be above 80% in grades 10-12.
Teacher purity-
Teachers in each SLC should teach the majority of their courses within the SLC and have 3 hours per week of
common planning time.

Curriculum Analysis
The size of the “SLC Box” (student time spent in each SLC)
depends upon how much a school is able to: • prescribe vertical course sequences • reduce core course levels and assign
teachers by SLC - not by department.

Segmentation by Expectation
Providing multiple labels to students based upon past performance and other data:• Teacher recommendations• Grades• Attendance/discipline• Test scores
in order to place students into a tracking sequence.

De-Tracking
SLC’s are designed to provide equal opportunity within each community, by providing less
segmentation and more flexibility to move between
course levels.

All SLC - Chemistry or Physics (or Honors)
Grade 12All SLC - Ecology, Geology (or Honors)
AP occurs as “global” class across all SLC’s
Note: Biology is not offered as a repeat -- must take in summer school, online, or in alternative setting.

Philosophy
A school must first address the philosophy/culture within the school in order to create a belief system that ALL students can learn and ALL teachers should be expected to teach high level curriculum.

Its All in the Process
2009 Institute for Staff Development
Students Today, Leaders Tomorrow
A transparent process in which a clear vision of each Career Academy is defined,
cohorts are scheduled as separate schools (course tags created for each academy),
“branding” is built in student sign up visuals, and academy purity is protected throughout the
process.
A typical example...
2009 Institute for Staff Development
Students Today, Leaders Tomorrow
A school has 2200 students – • 5 Career Academies• 3 sections of AP English and History traditional enrollment • 4 sections of Honors Geometry• 2 ELL teachers• 3 teachers who have traditionally taught all of Honors/AP• A traditional process to place teachers based upon what
they want to teach or who has traditionally taught the advanced classes and what period they want off for prep.
Does the “cumulative advantage” exist here?... is it pre-decided who will “make it”?

classes.4. Common to almost all students.5. Have similar enrollment numbers to other
teamed courses.6. Integrate well with other courses.
