Core Practice Benchmarks
Expeditionary Learning has released a new version of its Core Practices and related Benchmarks, updated to capture improvements in the work of EL and its partner schools. The practices and benchmarks build on a strong base of innovative teaching and learning in EL network schools, as well as on national and local educational research. They describe Expeditionary Learning in practice: what teachers, students, school leaders, families, and other partners do in fully implemented Expeditionary Learning schools. The new book replaces
the 1999 publication, Are We There Yet?. Core Practice Benchmarks is currently available for immediate download in PDF format.
