The Indianapolis Public Schools in Indiana are pioneering a school/government/business consortium called The Learning Cooperative: Connecting and Supporting Systematic Mathematics, Science, and Technology Initiatives via Telecommunication. A telecommunication infrastructure links the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, 25 schools in Indianapolis, 25 in Chicago, and 3 in Walled Lake, Michigan. The network delivers research-based curriculum and technical support to the participating program's teachers. The network allows exemplary teachers to conduct lessons at consortium schools via distance learning. Lessons are prepared in the form of Curriculum Support Units (CSUs), short video programs with supplementary text that teach specific key concepts. Through careful collaboration among the consortium members, the CSUs are designed to address basic math and science concepts, and to fit smoothly within the curriculum frameworks of each district.
