Customer Reviews

Enormously informative about expiremental teaching.

Teach Me, by Murray levin, is the most important book I have read concerning how black and latino adolescents see the world and how their vision effects their life. Teach me also contains a vivid description and analysis of an inovative and succesful pedagogy. Levin taught his students the elementary principals of logic-what is a cause, what is an effect, what is a system- and why is conflict and opposition necessary. Half of his students are now in college, the others are gainfully employed. Levin provides an imaginative and workable way of reaching the students that are educational system is failing. The result is totally compellin, and education for anyone who reads Teach Me.
