Real Learning Real Futures - Evaluation of Derwent District Schools' Partnership

This report on the Real Learning Real Futures (RLRF) Program is provided to assist other
schools and areas to examine one response to the diverse needs of young people within and
through secondary schools. The first part of this report provides a ‘snapshot’ of this Program in
the Derwent District, Tasmania in October 2003.

Part 1:
In the first part of this report, the work in the Derwent District is summarised within the context
of current curriculum directions. Much of this description draws on existing material from the
Project, together with observation of a small number of projects during October 2003.
(The word ‘Program’ is used here to signify the overall inter-school approach; the word ‘project’
is used to signify an individual activity offered with the whole Program.)

Part 2:
The second part of this report provides further information about the Program’s operation for
the schools involved including a listing of issues being faced. This contributes to on-going reflection by the schools and provides some recommendations for possible directions.
