ELOE 101Y: Education Leadership, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship Core Experience

Semester: 

Fall

Offered: 

2021
The purpose of the Education Leadership, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship (ELOE) Core Experience, which is really a set of experiences, is to help frame, integrate, and synthesize student learning in alignment with the ELOE core competencies. It is the “glue” of the ELOE program, designed to help ensure that each student, no matter their desired impact, career aspirations or concentration, makes progress on the program’s core competencies in alignment to their personal and professional goals.  Through the core experience, each student will engage in a competency-based self-assessment, design an individual development plan, and reflect on their learning at critical junctures. They will also participate in a set of three program-wide convenings and two sets of interest-aligned concurrent workshops designed to inspire, motivate, and deepen students' understanding of critical knowledge, dispositions, and skills in alignment with their learning goals. Students also will form relationships with a small and diverse group of peers in eight meetings of their micro-learning communities, which will support students in making progress toward their goals, push their thinking, and provide feedback along the way. Ultimately, the core experience will help students maximize their time at HGSE, so they leave with a sense of accomplishment and clarity on their desired impact and next steps after graduation.
