White Board Formula:
Each class period, students will be given at least one educational objective, an activity to reinforce this educational objective, and an assessment for the activity. Educational objectives are pulled from California Content Standards or other standards appropriate for each course.
ELSR Integration:
Pacific Lutheran High School’s ESLR’s (Expected School-wide Learning Results), adopted curriculum, and course content standards are integrated into one cohesive unit to maximize student-learning. Each PLHS course will thus:
| |
- P - Give students the ability to see how their standards-based subjects put Christ first, by starting the class with a bible verse that contains a mathematical term
- L - Teach and/or reinforce critical thinking and self-learning skills, by solving the daily lesson problems
- H - Prepare students to be effective communicators able to utilize technology, by preparing and presenting reports
- S - Empower students to use their education in acts of service to their fellow man
