EDUCATION STANDARDS

The learning standards in the Massachusetts curriculum frameworks set expectations for what all students should know and be able to do by the end of each school year. When students use the three steps to research careers and reflect on their learning by filling out the Reflection Form for each chosen career, they can meet many of those learning standards. When educators, parents, or guardians facilitate discussions with their students about their learnings, they have a chance to meet even more.

We have prepared a PDF for you that includes a list of educational standards that may apply when you use these tools with your students.
