In fact, it is sometimes vital to strike the last blow, to give the final answer, or to arrive after everyone else.“ -Jedi Master Wiwa

How a Journey Works The candidate will be given an objective each week which corresponds with a journey in the Jedi Code The overall goal of the objectives are for the candidate to meet with more success than failure.

How a Journey Works Objectives are only a week long. If the candidate is successful with an objective the candidate earns a reward. If the candidate fails to meet an objective the candidate will revisit that objective at a later time.

Breaks During a Journey The candidate may receive one 5 minute “meditation” break each class period, if needed. May get a drink of water No talking

Assessing the Objective through Data Collection Each week the candidate’s participating Jedi Masters will fill out a form assessing the candidate’s performance. Objectives will range from daily data recording to only recording data on specific days.
