It seems that thereis never enough time in schools, and leaders struggle to make the most of what they have. How best to use this precious resource is a critical question.  \nWhile time in isolation from other factors cannot ensure success in teaching and learning, it is an essential element in any strategy for school improvement. Understanding how global leaders allocate and use this resource in schools can help inform our own allocation and use of time and our efforts to use the time we have most effectively. This brief looks at that question, focusing primarily on Grades 1-9.  \nWe organized this brief around a set of time-related topics:  \n? Thinking differently about available time. How much total time is available to schools? How do leading systems provide adequate time for teaching and learning?  \n? Thinking differently about school schedules. How do schools organize time within the school day? How do schools structure schedules to enable success?  \n? Thinking differently about developing student agency for work and life. How do schools use time to support students in developing the competencies and habits that enable success in life and work?  \n? Thinking differently about personalization. How do leading systems build in flexibility and design time to enable personalization?  \n? Thinking differently about teaching time. How do systems balance time for teaching and non-teaching? How do systems use time productively to enable professional growth?  \n? Thinking differently about teaching conditions. How do systems create conditions that minimize teacher workloads and enable teacher success?  \nThinking Differently About Time  \nIn each area, we:  \nSurface thought-provoking observations about ways these systems approach time differently.  \nOffer interesting examples of what global leaders do differently and how states and districts are implementing similar strategies.  \nAsk probing questions about the potential for using time differently and what the policy implications might be.  \nUsing time is the second topic in our Thinking Differently About series focused on learning about the policies and practices of systems with strong student outcomes. This brief lets us explore the ways global leaders use time and identifies how states and districts in the United States use similar strategies. This brief focuses primarily on Grades 1-9. How time is used in upper secondary will be the subject of a subsequent brief.  \nOur Thinking Differently About series encourages outside-of-the-box thinking about each issue. Our goal is to offer examples and raise questions to initiate powerful conversations, and to set the stage for educators across the United States to explore further, share lessons learned, and to inform improvements in our schools. Please approach the brief in that spirit and consider what is different, what might be useful in your context, what that would mean for policy and for school design, and what more there is to learn.  \nThis brief is Part 1 of a two-part series on time. Part 1 covers Grades 1-9, and the second brief will cover upper secondary (Grades 10-12). Time is a powerful condition of successful teaching and learning. We acknowledge that what is done with that time is equally important, but is not the subject of this brief.  \nLet’s think differently! Together.  \n2 ~~  ~~Thinking~~ ~~Differently~~ ~~About~~ ~~Time~~  ~~  \nAvailable Time  \nThought-provoking observations and interesting examples:  \nTHINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT  \nWe can learn many things by looking at how other systems use time in school. By looking at how much time schools have available and how they are using it for students and teachers we can often see things differently here at home. In these sections, we look closely at six main aspects of time focused on Grades 1-9.
