Credit for Learning
Are you interested in learning how students can receive elective credits for learning opportunities that are currently being provided through youth leadership programs, scouts badging, summer computer science and/or robotics camps, and many others?
Alabama’s Extended Learning Opportunities (ELO) Act (HB486) opens new opportunities and paths for students to participate in individualized activities outside of the classroom that align with student interests, provide exposure to career interests, and include the application of 21st-century skills. This provides various student benefits by allowing these learning opportunities outside of the school day/year to count for official credit-bearing electives.
