New this year, Signature has time in the normal class day, and a renovated room to meet in.
Finding time to complete projects is one of the great challenges of capstones. Students can have wonderful ideas, and tremendous drive, but protecting time in their busy schedules is challenging. Emma Willard students are no different in this way.
To identify time for students to work on their projects, to discuss projects with Signature classmates, and to meet with adults, three classes were created in the school day at Emma Willard. This has proven to be a wonderful addition to the program. Just a few weeks into the year, the projects are noticeably stronger, better organized, and further advance than last year.
Three classrooms and a hallway were converted into the new Signature Lab, to house the Signature classes. Housed in the Weaver building, this space was once the original science lab. It has come full circle, in a way. This space is for students to gather, and to create and exhibit projects. Soon we will have all kinds of work hanging on the walls.
