Reflections on Our Adventure

As our Learning Adventure began in the fall of 2019, we felt a sense of excitement, hope, and optimism about our shared mission to create a new kind of learning experience that brings the MURSD Portrait of a Learner to life. Through all of our activities, our team worked together to become experts on the Portrait of a Learner, ambassadors for our district’s vision for learning, and learning experience designers who created a new type of curriculum. 

The COVID-19 health crisis may have interrupted our work; however, our team was able to adjust to the challenges they faced in order to make the “Leaving a Legacy” Learning Adventure a reality. As a result of their efforts, they engaged in a powerful learning experience in which they planted crops, cultivated a garden, and donated the proceeds to our local seniors. 

Our team demonstrated the power of student agency, hands-on lessons, co-created experiences, social and collaborative learning, and the potential of our learners to solve the problems that are most relevant to our community. They blazed a trail that we are excited to follow in our unwavering commitment to make sure that learning is always an adventure. 

We are so proud of our mindful learners, global citizens, skillful collaborators, effective communicators, solution seekers, and inspired innovators!
