# Studio — Q1 Rotation

*Strands × Teams*

Jan 12 – Mar 27, 2026 · 11 calendar weeks · 11 teaching weeks · 54 workdays

Two teams rotating between strands, with a review closing each sprint.

## How to read this

Spans are authored as dates but measured in **workdays** — the days that actually happen. No-session days are drawn but never counted, so a span crossing a break is shorter than its date range suggests.

| This calls it | Which means |
| --- | --- |
| Strand | A parallel lane of work that runs for some or all of the timeline. |
| Sprint | A dated span of work inside one track (or across every track). |
| Review | A point event pinned to a block on a single session. |
| Team | A group of people who move through tracks together. |
| Workday | One working day that actually happens — the unit spans are measured in. |

## Calendar

Meets Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu & Fri, Jan 12 – Mar 27, 2026.
