We work specifically in partnership with communities.where educational and cultural resources are limited. We are dedicated to promoting the international exchange of ideas and contributing to instruction and learning across the disciplines. RTW projects utilize the Internet, computer equipment and software, and telecommunications tools to bridge classrooms and cultures. Reach the World's materials are not a replacement for the traditional curriculum, but rather a resource that broadens and uplifts it.
Technology is our medium of delivery.
We aim to impact directly on students' skills, confidence and motivation to learn during the critical middle school years, helping them to increase their skills and prepare to become citizens of an increasinly global community. Reach the World's premise is to make classroom learning an extraordinary adventure . Our model is to launch real-world expeditions and use them as a platform for creating interdisciplinary materials linked to Standards and tuned to teachers' needs. We believe that technology must be paired with vision, careful planning, supervision and assessment if it is to make a lasting impact. Thus, we build strong, regional networks of classrooms to participate in each of our expeditions, focusing on under-served communites where access to technology and training fall far short of average.
