Some of the GLOs appear to replicate what is covered in a content area, such as “Effective Communicator” and Language Arts. Why do we need to do both?
The General Learner Outcomes (GLOs) are the observable behaviors or evidence of student learning in standards-based education for all students in all grade levels. They do not exist in isolation, but should be an integral part of the school culture as demonstrated in daily classroom instruction and assessment. Therefore, GLOs should be rated on the qualities a student displays across all content areas and not just a single discipline. It is important that all teachers infuse the GLOs into all areas of the curriculum and rate them accordingly, e.g., effective communicator is observed and rated in all classes and not only in Language Arts.
