LEARNING EXPEDITIONS: In EL school's learning expeditions are the primary way of organizing curriculum. Learning expeditions feature linked projects that require students to construct deep understandings and skills and to create products for real audiences.

ACTIVE PEDAGOGY: Teaching and learning are active and engaging in EL classrooms. Effective instructional practices promote equity and high expectations: they make the content of expeditions come alive, ensure that all students think and participate, and allow the teacher to know all students and their thinking well. Knowledge of each student's level of understanding and participation leads teachers to differentiate instruction.

CULTURE AND CHARACTER: An EL school culture is developed and sustained through practices that bring the community together, promote shared understandings, and encourage all community members to become crew, not passengers. The climate in an EL school is characterized by physical and emotional safety, respect and courtesy, and a disciplined environment. Teachers foster student character through challenging academic work, service, and the expectation that students are courteous, respectful, and compassionate.

School leaders, teachers, and staff in EL schools are members of a community of learners. Professionals work together to share expertise, improve the school's program, build background knowledge in their disciplines, and model collaborative learning for students. Staff culture is characterized by a respectful collegiality where teachers resist judgment and blame and support each other in improving practice.

LEADERSHIP AND SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT: Leaders in EL schools create a professional community that focuses on curriculum and instruction as the primary vehicles for improving student achievement and school culture. Teachers and school leaders in EL schools collect data to understand student achievement, assess teaching practices, and make informed decisions about instruction.

STRUCTURES: In EL schools the schedule serves instructional and curricular priorities. While each schedule is unique to a school and its constraints, there are key features that all EL school schedules have in common: blocks of class time, opportunities for integration of the disciplines, and common planning time for teachers. The schedule accommodates project work, fieldwork, service learning, and flexible groupings of students. Time is scheduled during the school year and summer for whole-school professional development and collaboration across grade levels and subject areas.
