ELOB teachers develop their own expeditions based upon the ten design principles and set of guiding questions, learning goals, projects, and student assessments. Learning expeditions are designed with clear learning goals and are aligned with state and district standards . Ongoing assessment is woven throughout each learning expedition on a classroom and school-wide level. Student learning is measured by portfolios, public performances, and presentations of student work as well as by state and local standardized tests . ELOB schools also develop culminating exhibitions and graduation requirements for students to gauge academic and character development.
Teachers also have regular common planning time to plan, and critique, learning expeditions.
Technology is integrated into the learning experiences for students as determined by each ELOB school. Expeditionary Learning also supports an online network and web site for teachers and administrators. The above information on ELOB was obtained from the ELOB web site and hardcopy materials.
