Overall Capacity Analysis Clause Samples

Overall Capacity Analysis. This analysis provides the overall occupancy number and capacity rate of TMP classrooms according to the schedule of classes. TMP is unique in that it does not allot time for instruction based on set class periods as is typical in a high school; rather the school adjusts length of instruction time based on scheduling needs of students and the demand for additional instruction in a particular subject. For example, in the current schedule World History is scheduled 4 times per week for approximately 1 hour allotted time; 1 time on Monday and Wednesday and 3 times on Tuesday and Thursday. Algebra 2 is offered 6 times per week for approximately 1 hour allotted time; 3 times on Monday and Wednesday and 3 times on Tuesday and Thursday. Because TMP is committed to preparing students for college level course work, each cohort comes into the school requiring emphasis on different subject matters. To accommodate this, the school keeps its schedule flexible to make adjustments as needed. On the capacity sheet, each period’s instructional time is broken down into 4 - 15 minute increments. This helps quantify the amount of time each classroom is being used on a daily basis. In the previous stated case of World History, the 1.5 hours of instructional time would take up the entire time allotted for Period 1 and half the time allotted for Period 2. The TMP Friday project-based instruction and hand-on schedule is variable in terms of space used since students can be in a large gathering space for group discussion, in a classroom for project specific instruction, or off campus in a hands-on learning environment. Individual groups and/or functions are not indicated on the spreadsheet, rather project time is delineated into one group. The overall capacity analysis for TMP’s 2014-15 school year identifies that for its leased instructional space and classroom 213: • On Monday and Wednesdays instructional spaces were utilized approximately 72% of the available time • On Tuesday and Thursdays instructional spaces were utilized approximately 76% of the available time • On Fridays instructional spaces were utilized approximately 39% of the available time This analysis reveals that the existing TMP facilities meet the needs of its students and have room for limited growth.
