Journey Connections to State
(and National) Curriculum Standards
The content of all Girl Scout journeys have been correlated (by grade level) to the new national Common Core Standards and the 21st Century Skills standards, as well as to the Health & PE, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies learning objectives for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Note that Journey content to state curriculum standards has been updated to reflect 2011 changes in state curriculum standards in Massachusetts, Florida, and Texas. There were no new correlations for grades K-2 in any of these three states.
The Common Core Standards, developed and approved in 2010 by a bipartisan group of governors and educators, provide a shared framework for learning and teaching objectives specifically for English Language Arts and Mathematics for most US students. The 21st Century Skills standards focuses on blending subject-skills with life and career skills; information, media, and technology skills; and other key skills necessary to develop multi-dimensional abilities to succeed in the new century.
To find out how the journeys support state and national curriculum standards, use the drop-down menus to choose the journey series (It's Your World - Change It!, It's Your Planet - Love It!, or It's Your Story - Tell It!). Then choose the grade level and your state (or national standard).
