Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRs)

Following the Campbell Union High School District plan, the faculty of Branham High School developed its Expected Schoolwide Learning Results in a process that began in 2000. During 2001, descriptors of the ESLRs were developed by the Department Chairs in collaboration with the staff. In 2003-04 the ESLRs were revised to reflect the evolving nature of the school as student enrollment increased and new faculty and staff members were integrated into the school. These ESLRs were developed as a consensus from input provided by all stakeholders, parents, students, and staff, and are used as part of the school's ongoing improvement process.
