We designed this website with the intention of empowering students, teachers, and local communities. This website provides resources to develop an authentic learning culture that facilitates student empowerment. EXPLORE defines the first step in understanding authentic learning and student empowerment. EQUIP provides suggested examples across subjects and grade levels along with links for further use. EMPOWER helps connect students, teachers, and communities around the local community. The ultimate goal for this site is to create a forum where teachers and businesses/organizations can post their needs or ideas and connect with each other to develop authentic learning opportunities for students
