On Friday February 23, 2018, Mr. Dillon and a group of teachers attended the Idaho Mastery-Personalized Education Legislative (IMEN) Showcase at the Idaho State Capitol building. This experience gave Wilder Teachers an opportunity to share the planning, design, and implementation of the journey toward Mastery-Personalized Based Education. The teachers were also able to circulate through the Showcase, and mingle with fellow educators regarding the direction of education in Idaho. This was a great time to share the amazing learning that we are offering students here everyday in Wilder.
