What are Student Learning Outcomes?
Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) are the achievement targets for a subject. In addition, children should develop these competencies by the end of an academic year.
SLO are the destinations of learning. Moreover, student-learning outcomes are generally around ten to fifteen-word sentences. They also clearly tell us what children have to learn by the end of the year. Furthermore, they show us clearly, what we should acquire after learning.
