The anatomy of a four-week block
Every week has a job.
Week 1
Orientation to the problem, not to the syllabus
Formative task, returned the same day
Week 2
Core content and guided practice
Graded task one, not more than 25 per cent
Week 3
Laboratory, studio or field intensive
Graded task two, risk review at week end
Week 4
Consolidation and final performance
Authentic assessment, not more than 50 per cent
A failed block costs one block, repeated within about eight weeks. It never costs a year.
