Real World Curriculum

About

VISION NextLesson makes learning relevant by engaging students in real world problems through topics they care about.  We help teachers answer the famous question "Why do we need to learn this?" RELEVANT Using high-interest topics like Harry Potter, Frozen, Katy Perry or iPads, we make learning feel personally relevant.  RIGOROUS And it's not just about having fun; our goal is to prepare students for the real world. Our "ungoogleable" challenges foster critical thinking with questions like, "What is the best size of zit cream to buy?" or "Where is an iPhone most expensive?" REAL WORLD No more lemonade stands. The only place you can buy 600 watermelons and people won't think you are crazy is in a textbook. We put students in real life situations to solve problems people face everyday. They use actual data and apply skills in an authentic way. We offer 3,000+ projects, lessons, performance tasks and interactive Rank&Reason activities in K-12, ELA, Math, Social Studies and Science.
