Marva Collins' Way by Marva Collins and Civia Tamarkin

Marva Collins is a famous educator in Chicago, Illinois. For more than 30 years she has worked to improve traditionally low-achieving schools. She also founded a private school for inner-city students, and now trains teachers in a variety of settings across the country. Favorite Quote (from the Marva Collins Creed): "My success and my education can be companions that no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, and no enemy can alienate. Without education, man is a slave, a savage wandering from here to there believing whatever he is told."
