Illinois
The Reality Based Learning Project

Project Homepage:

The Reality Based Learning Project is designed to create a network of nine Illinois schools in which teachers and students use their knowledge and skills to serve as consultants, addressing "real world problems," generated through an active collaboration with business, government, community organizations, and higher education. The problems will be initiated, and research carried out and reported by teams of students and industry personnel working together in extended relationships that are part mentorship, part collaboration, but entirely productive for both schools and industry. These relationships will be supported by new types of interactive computer and communications technologies, including the Internet. The Kirby School District #140 in Tinley Park, Illinois, is working with 21 consortium members to implement this project.
