General Learning Outcomes

 

General Learner Outcomes, or GLOs, are the over-arching goals of standards-based learning for all students in all grade levels. Observable behaviors, which are demonstrated in daily classroom activities, are evidence of GLOs. Student effort, work habits, and behavior are important, and they must be evaluated separately from academic performance in the content areas (in accordance with Board of Education Policy 4501: Assessing/Grading Student Performance).

Basic courses offered at Ewa Makai Middle School support 7th and 8th grade students in achieving the Department of Education’s six GLOs. The GLOs permeate all aspects of teaching and learning to help students become effective and productive citizens. The six GLOs are:
