Six-Week Period Correction | JSA Art 1 Lesson Plan

Problem Identified

User Feedback:

"Looking at the first six-weeks and other pages, it seems like maybe you are still using quarters instead of six-week periods. That's really confusing. Can you redesign that to use only six-weeks?"

Root Cause Analysis:

Mixed Terminology: Files contained both "quarter" and "six-week period" references
Incorrect Assessment Schedule: Assessment weeks didn't align with six-week period endpoints
Design Consistency: Color scheme didn't match user preferences (gradients vs. flat design)
Texas Education Context: Texas schools use six-week grading periods, not quarters
