Earn $1,000 for Your School
MASSP has joined with MDE, MVU, Microsoft, and Traverse Bay Area ISD to offer a one-time bonus stipend of $1,000 to schools who make a two-year commitment to adopt and implement CareerForward ™ in their middle school or high school classrooms.
CareerForward ™ is designed to help Michigan students understand how to plan their work lives and career opportunities amid the implications of the global economy. This award-winning, no-cost online course is a powerful means for Michigan students to satisfy the new Michigan Merit Curriculum requirements for an online course.
CareerForward ™ now comes in three versions to allow schools to select the version that best fits the needs of your school or district:
- MVU-hosted Web-based Course
- MVU-hosted Blackboard CMS
- School-hosted Blackboard/Moodle CMS
For a detailed description of each version, click here.
