Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs) are skill-based outcomes and non-negotiable areas of proficiency to be attained by all students. ELOs are developed as a part of our work as a Professional Learning Community, specifically answering PLC question #1: “
What do we want students to learn?” At Hamilton Southeastern High School, ELOs for core courses, as listed in this document, were articulated through the following process:
Content area teacher collaboration teams developed ELOs for core courses and submitted work to department leaders.
- Department leaders reviewed ELOs, looking for (1) vertical alignment and (2) connections to state academic standards, college and career readiness skills, and IDOE employability skills. Department leaders provided feedback to teacher collaboration teams.
- After revisions, teacher collaboration teams and department leaders submitted ELOs to administration for review and compilation. Essential learning outcomes (ELOs) are the foundation are the heart of our guaranteed curriculum.
Departments will continue developing ELOs for all courses and will engage in ongoing review.
