Extended Learning Opportunities
ELOs are a new learning initiative in the Pattonville School District that are designed to allow students to pursue their interests and career aspirations in a variety of non-traditional ways.
The goal is for the student to be exposed to real world applications in their area of interest. ELOs are designed and driven by a learner’s authentic interest, allowing them to pursue their interests and career aspirations in a variety of non-traditional ways.
Extended Learning Opportunities are:
-
Highly flexible and individualized to the learner’s needs and goals
-
Developed in partnership with school and community members to meet specific competencies
-
Agreed-upon goals and competencies are rigorous and frame the ELO experience with
-
A minimum of 60 hours of engagement
-
A project and presentation will be the culmination of the ELO experience
-
Credit can be awarded if the learner has fulfilled all requirements of the ELO
Students will engage in a personalized learning experience to demonstrate proficiency on a select set of competencies agreed upon by the school advisor and community/industry partner. Once a student has proven they have met these competencies, credit is awarded to the student.
