An AI tool to connect your students their community and beyond.

The Authentic Learning Applications tool within our REAL Connections Framework (Relevant, Engaging, Authentic Learning Connections) bridges classroom content with local community contexts. This powerful resource enables educators to transform abstract academic standards into meaningful learning experiences by connecting curriculum directly to community organizations, local issues, and real-world applications. Teachers can quickly identify authentic contexts where students apply their knowledge to address genuine challenges, creating learning that is simultaneously standards-aligned and deeply relevant to students' lives.

Please note due to the complexity of the output, this tool will take about 45 seconds before it generates.
