Greetings from the Illinois State University Lab Schools!

A Living Laboratory is a biannual newsletter to inform the educational community on the various ways in which the Lab Schools at Illinois State University pursue their mission of teaching excellence, teacher preparation, research, and service to the profession. Included are a few items that we think will be of interest. I hope you enjoy the fall edition!
