Expected Schoolwide Learning Results

The School of Choice has defined the following as its Expected School Wide Learning Results to improve its performance as a school. What do we wish our graduates to be like? The ESLR’s were developed in staff meetings in 2005 and 2007, and revised recently with commentary from staff and students, the majority of which approved of these goals as “excellent”. Students also mentioned the need for safety, to “adapt in life socially and physically” and to get a healthy life. They wanted to write, speak, draw and listen, “To be aware of the world.”
