Many times over the last month, I've been asked for examples of what students can pursue during their SIG and X-Block periods.
___________________________________________________
To review, SIGs stand for Student Interest Groups and are designed to tap into the passions and interests of both students and teachers. Students also will have the opportunity to get assistance with work in their core classes during this block. SIGs meet every Monday and change each semester.
_______________________________________________________
X-Block is a fitness-based elective. The goal is to expose students to different activities that promote a healthy lifestyle. Can you imagine all the great activites we can participate in here in Durango?
_________________________________________________________
In an attempt to provide as much information possible about these blocks, we've compiled a list of sample SIG and X-Block programming,designed by High Tech High students and staff over the last five years. Upon examination of these partial lists, one realizes that the sky is the limit when offering and designing CHOICE BASED programs.
