The Indiana Learning Collaborative (ILC) is a not-for-profit consortium of formal and informal education partners who prime directive is to enhance student achievement in Indiana through: 1) the development and dissemination of new points of access to curricular and community resources, 2) the development of instructional models that integrate technology into the curriculum through systematic preservice and inservice professional development, and 3) the development of comprehensive electronic access strategy for Indiana educators and students.
The ILC will act as a professional development organization as well as a research and development organization through developing curriculum-based frameworks and performance standards.
The ILC will develop and administer three (3) main organizational components: 1) Indiana Teachers Resources Link (ITRL) and KidLinx, 2) a systematic professional development component, and 3) development of strategies for statewide access to electronic resources as developed in the ITRL. The resources of the Access Indiana Technology Learning Center will become a part of this structure.
