Recommendation
Evaluation
"Journeys" is recommended as a primary curriculum for University Language Programs, for teacher and student use. It can be used as a teacher resource for High School World Language programs, but it is not recommended for use by High School students.
As a curriculum for beginning students, "Journeys" is a well-developed resource. The content is up-to-date, and is appropriate for a novice learning context. It also includes authentic materials and cultural connections. The curriculum is comprehensive; it includes both teacher- and student-workbooks and additional online resources. It has enough variety to be suitable for students with varying learning styles/abilities.
"Journeys" is not suitable for all classrooms though. For example it contains a significant amount of English text, so it cannot be used in a Dual-Language-Immersion setting. While it has many resources, it suffers from being difficult to navigate for anyone not already familiar with it.

| Ethnic Studies (Ethnic studies in core standards and curriculum should be a narrowly tailored incorporation of age-appropriate opportunities that naturally arise through education without pretextual effort in courses, programs, or activities where ethnic studies is not a primary focus. The material should incorporate a curriculum of people and cultures that reflect the state’s various demographics without commentary that seeks to violate the neutrality standard established in codes: 53B-1-118, 53G-2-103, 53G-2-104, 53G-2-105, 67-27-107, | This item has not been graded. | |||||
