Develop linkages to the larger community through which more relevant learning activities can take place. Community Members Work with schools to make opportunities for real-world experiences available to students. Provide students with opportunities to be of genuine service to the community as they work on academic content.
Parents Recognize the value of more relevant learning.
Support the school in its efforts to make relevant learning opportunities available. Discuss with the teacher how relevant learning differs from your school experience. Learn more about the instructional goals of the program and its impact on students. Policymakers Fund model projects that develop a vision for what authentic, relevant learning can look like in practice. Consider relevant learning practice when making policy decisions, such as those for school safety and transportation.
