| Mankato Wilson Campus School Remembered by Minnesota State University and IALA
Price: $20, Members $15 + $5 shipping Description: This 60-minute DVD portrays the Wilson research and development learning center for the State of Minnesota, a program considered the most innovative public year-round alternatives environment in the nation from 1968-1978. Included with each order is a 26 page copy of the narrative. The school underwent 69 changes overnight, ultimately leading to major changes in Minnesota legislation, including charter schools, open enrollment, post-secondary options and area learning centers. The quality is a bit uneven but it sends a clear message about future schools. |
