Also, auto body repair, welding, and even clerical education have been teaching students in real world setting successfully for many years. The opposite is true in an example from science education. The idea of students carrying out water quality testing for local citizens is not widespread. Language arts students going to individuals for interviews or social studies students volunteering at the local polling stations are educational opportunities not yet developed by many teachers. Administrations of schools and districts can be at the forefront of progress in schools.
Administrators can be agents of change and can assist schools in adopting authentic learning.
One important quality needed it sufficient time to plan, prepare, and test out authentic instruction lessons. Time may come in the form of release time for planning and preparing lessons, as well as visiting experts in the field and collecting materials. Time is also needed in carrying out the lesson. One fifty minute period each day does not usually allow for proper time to facilitate the type of instruction that authentic instruction requires. Time is a major constraint in developing authentic instruction and the educational leaders of a school or district must realize this fact.
