Good afternoon,

Please note that while the Registrar/Course Management has changed the designation of block classes to reflect 7 weeks (rather than 8) per below, there is no change in the dates for our student teachers for fall 2019 student teaching.  Student teaching dates have never aligned with the block dates.

The fall 2019 student teaching dates will be as follows:

Block 1 – 8/26-10/18/2019
Block 2 – 10/21-12/12/2019
Extended block – 8/26-11/15/2019

The spring 2020 dates reflect a slightly later start because of the new winter session:

Block 3 – 1/13-3/6/2020
Block 4 – 3/9-5/6/2020
Extended block – 1/13-4/10/2020
Midblock PE – 2/26-4/22/2020 (& opening week in August).

Please feel free to check with me if you have any questions.

Best,
Dara

Dara,

Block classes have always been seven weeks of course instruction, but were called 8 week sections because of being half a term (which is 15 weeks of instruction with a week of exams making 16 weeks). To better reflect the actual number of weeks of teaching, block sections are now being called seven weeks and the session codes have been changed to reflect that.

The session code and terminology changes takes effect with the Fall 2019 term. All previously offered block sections did not role when the fall 2019 term was created because the session codes of 8W1 and 8W2 no longer exist. Block course session codes are now 7W1 and 7W2. Any block courses being offered in Fall 2019 must be re-created.
