AISD Implements Block Scheduling for High School Students in 2013-2014

Disponible en:

In an effort to provide Aldine ISD high school students additional learning opportunities, the district is implementing an alternating-day block schedule for the 2013-2014 school year.

This schedule will allow students to earn eight academic credits in one school year instead of seven in the traditional seven-period day. In addition each student will be scheduled in an intervention or enrichment period. This period will allow each campus to provide necessary interventions for students in each core area and provide students opportunities to participate in enrichment activities such as leadership development, SAT/ACT prep, science fair, history fair and other activities.

Each campus will utilize the block scheduling format to provide students with additional learning opportunities in career and college readiness addressing the new graduation standards that were passed in HB 5 in the Texas Legislative session.
