Resource Area for Teachers

Resource Area for Teachers

The Resource Area for Teaching (RAFT) started with an idea. What if:

  • Every child could get excited about learning through collaborative “hands-on” activities?
  • Every educator could obtain low-cost materials and the training to use them in “hands-on” projects?
  • 21st Century learning skills developed through “hands-on” education could become pervasive and improve educational outcomes?

RAFT’s mission is to help educators transform the learning experience through “hands-on” education that inspires the joy and discovery of learning. We are doing this today with over 10,000 educators in the classroom, doing home-schooling, or working in after-school or community-based programs. RAFT’s products, services and low-cost teaching supplies enrich and improve the education of over 825,000 young people each year.

The information above can be found on the official website of Resource Area for Teachers. For more details about the organization and to find out how you can volunteer, please visit their website: http://www.raft.net
