Learning Journeys Program

Learning Journeys are educational field trips for all MPS students. The goal of each Learning Journey is to put content-based instruction into practice.

Each Learning Journey implements a curriculum and instruction (C&I) framework and an academic and career planning (ACP) framework. The C&I framework provides standards-aligned instructional materials for teachers at each grade level. The ACP framework emphasizes holistic learning objectives in career awareness (K3–grade 3), career exploration (grades 4–8), and career planning and preparation (grades 9–12).

Please wait while we gather your results.
