           Expanding Learning Time in High Schools

            By Hilary C. Pennington
            Many American high schools currently succeeding at raising student achievement are increasing either the length of their school day or the length of their school year. Expanding learning time deserves more attention in high school reform debates as we raise standards and expectations, particularly in low-performing schools whose students are unlikely to reach higher standards without more time and support. 

            This new report examines high schools that have implemented an extended learning day as part of the required educational program for all students, rather than just providing voluntary after-school programs. It explores particular issues related to expanding time at the high school level, presents examples of how schools accomplish this, and analyzes the implications that would arise for school design, capacity, and financing if these approaches were applied on a more systemic scale.
