What Are DRSL's?
DRSL's, or Desired Result of Student Learning, are a main focus at AMES. There are three main categories we focus on developing during our high school years. These three DRSL's; Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, and Integration and Application of Knowledge help students to learn more effectively and helps them to be better prepared for higher education and their chosen professions for later in life.
The focus on ​Critical Thinking provides students opportunities to explore ideas and think through problems quickly, and find accurate information. Using and becoming more proficient at this skill gives student a way to learn more in depth about topics and gives them a way to ask relevant and expanding questions about the subject or idea.
Effective Communication gives students a goal to become skilled in expressing their thoughts and ideas to others with fluent, accurate information, while also showing thorough understanding and knowledge of the topic the student is talking or writing about.
Integration and Application of Knowledge is a showcase DRSL to give students the chance to see how the things they learn in school can and will help them through out their lives. Students are encouraged to use skills learned at school in a social setting to change something about the world around them.
