What is Legacy?“Legacy” is offered to Juniors and Seniors as a way for students to explore their passions, and make a positive impact on their school and community. Students have the opportunity to explore the six competencies that cover MURSD’s Portrait of a Learner through their work.
Throughout the school year, students are involved in a series of structured projects and teacher facilitated exploration of the design process in addition to their Individual Learning Adventures. These projects encompass individualized, group, and community presentations. Students have the opportunity to collaborate with community leaders and professional partners, providing them with the chance to connect their learning meaningfully to the world beyond high school. In this course, students are encouraged to become leaders of their own learning; developing skills that embody MURSD’s Portrait of a Learner competencies. The process of students’ adventures can lead them to different types of self and community awareness, which may include internships, part-time jobs, community interviews and interactions as well as time for self reflection. Not only are students able to build a portfolio of their adventure(s), but through their adventures, they also have the opportunity to leave a Legacy at Nipmuc - making it a better place than when they found it. |
Evolution of LegacyLegacy is the third evolution of student-led inquiries. Over the years, the program has grown and evolved into what it is today. Each year, we are striving to encourage students to explore their passions, and make a positive impact on the school and community.
