Academic and Career Explorations
“Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
That’s the mark of a true professional.” -Buddha

Academic
As often as possible, we set out to ascribe community based learning experiences based on current lessons, chapters, and teachings from the syllabi of the school’s classrooms. The Experiential Education Coordinator works closely with the school teachers to design specific learning opportunities for the students that help to fortify their classroom learning. The teachers will then create follow up assignments related to the community based learning that further enhance the learning. Past visits have included the Emily Dickinson Museum, the East Brookfield District Courts, a Worcester Poetry Slam and Walden Pond

Career
The Valley View staff keep an eye out for career interests exhibited by the students. We do this so that, whenever possible, we can facilitate local trips to community businesses and professional environments in order to afford exposure to the students as they begin to formulate ideas about potential career interests. While we understand that most students go through various stages of interest as they mature, we want to start the process early so that they have a more informed platform from which to draw on as they envision possibilities for themselves as they look ahead.
