Curriculum Outcomes

The curriculum outcomes are the immediate results expected at the end of each class. Each class will focus on one or more of the eight curriculum outcomes listed below. The lesson activities are designed to build the skills, knowledge, and attitudes underlying the outcome statements. The focus of GSL starts with the child’s needs, and moves toward meeting the parent’s needs by the half-way mark. In the latter half of the classes, the focus is primarily on the parent’s needs, skills and future goals.
