Winter School Lecompton, Kansas

 There are those who are forever tugging at the leashes of ordered life, eager to venture into the unknown. They must be always on the frontier of human endeavor, submitting what is old and accepted to conditions that are new and untried. The frontier is thus the seed plot where new...types of thoughts, are germinated.

-Carl Becker in his essay Kansas, 1910

Professor of History, University of Kansas

Curriculum

The Winter School explores the historical and philosophical foundations of education. We use the one-room school era as a starting point to discover the origins and evolutions of our current school system. The opening exhibition called History, Notice Me asks “What is the goal of school?” and “Can it be neutral?”. To accompany this exhibition, we created an arts-based social studies curriculum featuring a series of videos, references and related activities.
