The Wright team was selected as the national first prize winner from among 4,000 entries. This grant enabled teachers from Wright Elementary to participate in developing a restructured integrated science curriculum using videodisc technology and field-test a prototype in their classrooms. These guides are available for educators who wish to integrate laserdisc technology with supporting thematic hands-on science across the curriculum. School improvement begins with risk-takers willing to try new innovations. We're here to help.
