This case study focuses on the role of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UW-EC) in a consortium effort to implement, maintain, and institutionalize individually guided education and the multi-unit elementary school (IGE/MUS-E). The framework for the study is based on the chronological academic involvement of UW-EC with the various facets of the program. Reference materials for the (IGE/MUS-E) program which are included are: "Individually Guided Education and the Multiunit Elementary School" by H. J. Klausmeier, M. Quilling, J. Sorenson, R. Way, and G. Glasrud; "The Development and Evaluation of the Multiunit Elementary School, 1966-1970 by Klausmeier, Quilling, and Sorenson; and extensive appendices on the consortium program, "A Wisconsin State-wide Model Program for Developing Leaders in Role Differentiated Elementary Schools."
