Double Shifting for Higher Academic Achievement in a COVID-19 World

Have you ever wondered if school buildings are really being used in the most efficient and effective manner? Especially today with COVID-19 and policies such as social distancing? Since most schools sit empty for many hours throughout the day, there has been a movement for double-shifting in schools to make better use of the available space. Check out the article below, Reshaping education: evidence-based options for a post-Covid-19 world, by Howard White. He discusses some very interesting suggestions of how the evidence for school schedules advocate that this could be a great option for restructuring school district academic calendars.
