Project REAL NAEA Student Chapter |
| Project REAL is a federally funded partnership between Northern Illinois University, Rock Valley College and the Rockford Public Schools. Through this program, the Art Education department at Northern Illinois University has paired up with Jefferson High School in Rockford, Illinois to provide pre-service teachers in the art education program with clinical observation hours and teaching experience. For Jefferson High School, Project REAL is a way to promote teaching as a profession to its students and to bring in new and alternative perspectives from the NIU pre-service art teachers. For NIU Art Education students, the program provides a unique opportunity to gain valuable insight into the art department, administration and inner-workings of contemporary high school culture. |
