In making the awkward and difficult transition from a six-period schedule to a 4x4 block, our system was wise enough to bring Dr. Queen to assist us. His methodologies and models have moved us in a certainly positive direction. I have implemented activities from his program such as JIGSAW Expert and CIRC (Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition), and they have enhanced my curriculum magnificently!

In essence, Dr. Queen’s program eased my anxiety about the transition and truly helped me create a program for my students that is successful and productive for both me and my students.

Dr. Queen was employed by our county system to help us in our own somewhat abrupt change from a standard six-period schedule to a four-block schedule. What a life-saver! His pacing guides and focused instruction on how to use them helped me manage my classes as though I’d been on block scheduling all along.

Dr. Queen gave us a myriad of cooperative learning models and instructional practices that are prove to work. This program has truly enriched my teaching career.

Dr. Queen’s concepts and program principles made the transition to block scheduling rather seamless. Specifically, his rating guide has helped this teacher cover the required standards while keeping the students engaged for 90 minutes. The students, when engaged, enhance the probability of having a nurturing learning environment. Classroom management in this environment is a non-issue.
