Marva Collins' story will inspire you and make you want to be a better teacher. All children can learn. “The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.” “Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.”

"America would be infinitely better served if Marva Collins' philosophy of education somehow could become franchised and implemented on a national scale."--Alex Haley, author of ROOTS Marva Collins offers a beacon of hope in the midst of America's educational crises. MARVA COLLINS' WAY recounts Marva Collins' successful teaching strategies and offers inspirational advice on how to motivate children to fulfill their potential. This updated edition contains a new epilogue for parents and teachers. "The first things we are going to do here, children, is an awful lot of believing in ourselves." With these words, Marva Collins greets her students and opens them up to a potential many never thought possible. It is her constant "You can do it" that convinces her students there is nothing they cannot achieve. This independent-minded teacher's drive, courage, and dedication has helped her students reach high levels of accomplishment,. Her story can be any parent's or teacher's model. MARVA COLLINS' WAY is a prescription for effective teaching and graphic indictment of what is wrong with much of American education today. More than just an account of one teacher's struggles and successes, it demonstrates a teacher's technique that can be applied in every classroom and home. In 1981, this book was made into the TV movie The Marva Collins Story starring Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman. No library descriptions found. |

The mix of third and first person was confusing until I realized the book had dual authors, and I didn't find it dated at all. I did find myself disagreeing with the pedagogy in places, especially regarding the focus on classics, but I see a huge number of parallels to the best practices currently in place for working with students, of the Teach Like a Champion sort -- this seems to be an ur-book in many ways.
Quite an interesting historical and modern anecdotal piece, which illustrates most clearly what exactly it means to be both warm and demanding. ( )
