Southeast Alternatives describes six elementary and secondary schools -- the result of a 1971 proposal for Federal funding for experimental schools to bridge the gap between experimentation and actual school practice and for evaluation of the effort. Discussion of the mechanics of implementation, including organization, governance and finance, and support facilities, such as the Teacher Center and Television and Media Studio, describes each school in its larger context. Tuttle Contemporary School, placing priority on acquiring basic skills with new techniques in the traditional classroom, Pratt Continuous Progress School providing a self-paced curriculum in basic skills, and Marcy Open School applying developmental concepts and student participation in activity planning to achieve self-confidence -- all provide elementary education in Southeast Minneapolis. The Southeast Free School for students from the age of four aims to build confidence and awareness within students so that they will want to learn necessary skills. Marshall-University High (MUH) School provides education options and experimentation in the school and community. MUH includes a special education program and a transitional program for grades six, seven, and eight. (JH)
