What is ‘WIN Time’?

Have you heard about any schools using ‘WIN’ time? WIN is an acronym for ‘What I Need’ and this embodies the purpose of this time period. ‘WIN time’ is a flexible period of time many schools have added to their schedule to provide extra help or enrichment opportunities for their students.

How can you successfully implement WIN time? Another term for this type of flexible, intervention and enrichment based time period is a ‘flex block.’ Watch our video ‘How Can You Create a Flex Block?‘ to see how schools have made minor adjustments to their schedule to make this work.
