What Is an Experiential Site Visit?
Our experiential site visits are purposefully designed, in-person learning experiences that allows participants to see how teaching, learning, and workforce preparation come together in real school and career settings.
Rather than a traditional school tour, our experiential site visits immerse visitors in how students experience learning day to day through Linked Learning, in which academics, career pathways, and real-world experience are intentionally integrated.
Here’s what makes an educational site visit “experiential”:
- Learning in Context: Visitors observe classrooms, projects, and partnerships as they function in real time.
- Student-Centered Perspectives: The experience is designed around how students move through academic, technical, and work-based learning.
- Connections to Practice: Participants see how theory (curriculum, pedagogy, equity goals) translates into practice.
- Guided Reflection: Structured discussion helps participants connect what they see to broader educational goals for their own home districts.
Who Should Attend
This experience is for educators and workforce leaders committed to connecting learning to opportunity through intentional, real-world pathways. Participants include:
- Principals
- Educators
- School District Leaders
- Pathway Leads
- Work-Based Learning Coordinators
- Industry and Community Partners

North Kansas City School District Visit
Kansas City, Missouri
March 10-12, 2026
In March 2026, ConnectED conducted an Experiential Site Visit to North Kansas City Schools. Participatns had an opportunity to discover how the district has transformed its four high schools into career-themed learning communities that offer rigorous academics, technical coursework, work-based learning opportunities, and personalized student support—all aligned with student interests and future aspirations.
Built over five years in partnership with ConnectED, NKC Schools has reimagined high school education, engaging deeply with the business community and building a system-wide approach to college and career readiness. During the visit, participants gained a high-level view of NKC Schools’ transformation journey—from early design steps to sustainable implementation—developed in partnership with ConnectED.
“What an amazing experience and a fantastic opportunity! Thank you for your wonderful work in facilitating this event. I am truly impressed and inspired to bring this back to our school.”
