The following excerpted material is taken from the International Learning Cooperative, IMTEC’s, Newsletter, 1989. A reading of the whole newsletter is necessary to understand the all-encompassing activities of international change agents doing the bidding of UNESCO, OECD, etc. However, this particular issue documents the use of American tax monies to support the spread internationally of McREL’s controversial values-destroying critical thinking curriculum and school-based management activities.
COOPERATION WITH McREL
The Second “School-Year 2020 International Conference” held in Colorado, October 1988, was a joint undertaking by McREL (the Mid-Continent Regional Educational Laboratory) and Imtec. McREL is one of nine regional educational laboratories serving different regions of the United States and its protectorates. The “Labs” are practice institutions, assisting educators to use and apply the findings and products of research and development in their daily work in classrooms, schools, districts, state education agencies and related setting. McREL is the laboratory which serves the mountain/plains region including: Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. Our cooperation with McREL will continue. A Development Group represented by people from McREL and Imtec is presently working on new programs building on McREL’s Achieving Excellence Program (A+) and Imtec’s IDP, The Institutional Development Program. McREL’s A+ is a site or school-based management System.
