Schoolwide Learner Outcomes: Lifelong Learners

iLEAD is excited to introduce our new Schoolwide Learner Outcomes beginning this school year.

We believe that education should extend beyond traditional academic knowledge. Our purposeful approach revolves around the iLEAD Schoolwide Learner Outcomes, a collective vision that encapsulates our aspirations for each individual’s education.

The iLEAD Schoolwide Learner Outcomes serve as our compass, guiding us in shaping each child’s educational journey.

In the course of a child’s career with iLEAD Schools, our learners will engage with a relevant and rigorous curriculum that will prepare them for success personally and professionally.

The following are the expected Schoolwide Learner Outcomes that our learners develop:

iLEAD by being a/an…

Lifelong Learner

I am a self-directed learner, focused on personal growth and development.

Empathetic Citizen

I seek to understand and appreciate what others are thinking, feeling, or experiencing.

Authentic Individual

I am true to myself, my personality, values, beliefs, and principles.

Design Thinker

I am a creative, imaginative individual who explores original ideas, takes risks, and develops innovative solutions that I share with others.

Our September focus is Lifelong Learners. This article has several tips to help you cultivate a love for learning in your child:  “Nurturing Lifelong Learners: Cultivating a Love for Learning in Your Child.”

Meetup at Underwood Family Farms: October 2

Save the date! We will be holding our first meetup on Wednesday, October 2, at Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark. Homeschool families from our other iLEAD schools will also be in attendance. Come join us from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM and bring a picnic lunch! The cost per individual attending is $17. Learners enrolled with us have the option to use their vendor funds or pay out of pocket.

If this trip is too far of a drive, keep in mind that we also have our meetup at Gilchrist Farm in Santa Clarita at the end of October. This is a similar trip but a smaller version.
