Extended Learning Opportunities Overview Milwaukee Public Schools offers a variety of extended learning opportunities (ELO) that provide more time for academics and enrichment beyond the conventional school day (for example, extended day, summer, school breaks). These programs offer learning and developmental experiences that enhance and complement the school curriculum. The ELO office provides engaging opportunities for students to collaborate with highly qualified teachers and/or community partners to advance core skills, discover new interests, and make real-world learning connections outside a traditional classroom. The programs focus on academics, social and emotional learning, career development, and health and wellness.

Community Service and Service-Learning Participation in community service or service-learning are options for meeting an MPS graduation requirement. Students who choose the community service option complete a minimum of 20 hours of service, typically during one semester. A community service advisor at the school assists with site selection and paperwork completion. To satisfy the graduation requirement, • • • • •
service must be completed through a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or government agency, service must be supervised by an adult at the agency, service may not be part of a criminal justice sanction, students may not be paid for their service, service hours must take place outside of academic class time.
Service-learning experiences are incorporated directly into a course that a student is taking. Students use what they are learning in class to address real community needs. Through investigation, planning, action, and reflection, students join with community partners to solve problems and make things better in their schools, their neighborhoods, and around the world. A service-learning experience can be incorporated into almost any course. Each high school decides which courses will include a servicelearning experience.

General Educational Development Program (GEDO #2) The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction authorizes Milwaukee Public Schools to operate school-based GED Option #2 (GEDO #2) programs. Students receive instruction that prepares them for successful completion of standardized GED content exams to earn a regular high school diploma. Instruction is also provided in the areas of employability skills and financial literacy. Content-area preparation is delivered through a blended model of online curriculum with differentiated support from licensed teachers based on results from approved GED practice tests. Requirements for program completion are presented during an intake meeting that includes a review of a student’s transcript. To qualify for GEDO #2, students • • • •
need to demonstrate a 9th grade reading level or higher, must be at least 17 years old and in their fourth year of high school or 18 and a full year or more in credits behind their senior peers, may not graduate ahead of their high school cohort and are still subject to compulsory education until the age of 18, must have a minimum of 15 hours of seat time per week and maintain 80% attendance.
Students may be enrolled into the program only through the Department of College & Career Readiness/Extended Learning Opportunities office, Student Services, or through IEP placement. Students who are accepted into the program will be enrolled at one of the available sites. Since GEDO #2 is an alternative program, participation in the program is voluntary, and both parent and student must agree in writing to participate. Students who meet all requirements of the program are welcome to participate in graduation ceremonies.
5
Competency-Based Curriculum MPS provides a competencybased option for students who do not meet the reading requirements for GEDO #2 (see page 8). This approach is personalized, offering high school students an opportunity to demonstrate proficiency through a path that is specific to individual student needs utilizing a specific curriculum. Transcripts are reviewed to determine which academic requirements have been previously met. The competency-based program is generally a two-year program. Certain conditions must be met to qualify (based on seat availability): • • • •
Students must be at least 17 years old and in their fourth year of high school and a full year or more in credits behind their peers to apply. Students in the competency-based program may not graduate ahead of their high school cohort and are still subject to compulsory education until the age of 18. Students must meet a minimum of 15 hours of face-to-face instruction per week. Students and parents must participate in an intake meeting in which the requirements of the program are explained. Since this is an alternative program, parent and student agreement is mandatory for entrance into the program.
Students may be enrolled into the program only through the Department of College & Career Readiness/Extended Learning Opportunities office, Student Services, or IEP placement. Students who are accepted into the program will be enrolled at one of the available sites. Students who meet all requirements of the program will earn a regular MPS diploma and are welcome to participate in graduation ceremonies. 6
Credit Recovery This is an opportunity for students to recover credits for failed courses using an online program during the regular school day. Students must be enrolled full time, demonstrate a 7.5 reading level or higher, and have failed the class prior to enrolling in an Edgenuity credit recovery course. The online program • • •
uses a curriculum that aligns to MPS expectations regarding curriculum and rigor, provides individually paced lessons that students can “test out of” by demonstrating mastery (minimum score of 80%), and allows students to work on coursework outside school, but 70% of the work (including all assessments) must be completed at school.
Students may be eligible to take two courses at a time (up to one full credit). Students and teachers can monitor progress toward completion using online resource tools. Parents can receive login access through the support of their student’s instructor. When courses are completed, grades are entered and transcripts are updated to reflect student proficiency. All MPS high schools offer credit recovery during the day to assist students with on-time graduation. The program times/offerings vary by site. Please contact individual schools for more information.
