This real world learning is an instructional strategy that organizes learning around complex activities built on multiple themes and academic disciplines, and which requires multiple steps and an extended duration of time to complete. It includes the integrated and systemic use of the following strategies:

• having a real audience for work
• contextualizing locally, but connecting globally
• using real data
• learning content through working on projects and problems
• framing the unit through an “Engaging Task”
• learning more through “doing” than by “sit and get”
