About the Foundation - Help These Schools

We have created the sitesALIVE Foundation to address a need articulated by many school systems. Our decision to incorporate grew out of the frustrations we encountered at many schools where teachers and principals enthusiastically reviewed on-line learning opportunities as a valuable complement to traditional book and lecture-based learning but lacked the expertise or funding to take advantage of them. As tax revenues fall and education budgets are cut, more and more schools will be forced to do without many of the learning tools that teachers and principals know would benefit their students and prepare them for the future.

To date, over 50 schools in over a dozen states have expressed interest in the Foundation’s mission. Included are public and private schools as well as charter schools.

In addition, several compelling partnerships have also been developed with the hopes of utilizing on-line learning opportunities:

In Connecticut, LEARN, a regional resource center, in conjunction with Mystic Seaport Museum, is seeking support for a three-year series of teacher-training workshops reaching 240 teachers that will use online learning programs.

In Massachusetts, the Cambridge Public Schools (with additional interest from schools in Arlington, Salem, and Gloucester) are seeking support for a similar teacher training program in conjunction with Peabody-Essex Museum.

Please help the sitesALIVE Foundation help the growing list of schools and teachers who want to offer their students the best learning opportunities possible.
