The Block Plan

As Colorado College was approaching its 100th anniversary, the faculty made a decision to not just celebrate their past but to change things. They came up with the simple, but radical, idea that students learned more effectively, when they took one-and only one-class at a time. Not only did they figure out how it could be done, they managed to actually do it. And more amazing still, it's still with us today, fifty years later. This film looks back on the past and the founding of the Block Plan, but also on its present, what it's become, and what it means to the faculty, students, and staff who live it every day.
