Marva Collins Way Pdf Free Download

Marva Delores Collins (née Knight) was born in Monroeville, Alabama, to father, Henry Knight and mother, Bessie ( née ​ Nettles). Marva's father was a successful merchant, cattle buyer, and undertaker . He expected nothing but the best from Marva & her younger sister, "We were expected to be excellent" Marva would recall.

Marva grew up in the South, during a time of segregation, attending a strict elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse in Atmore, Alabama, which would later influence her career.

Collins has described her childhood as "wonderful" and filled with material comforts that included riding in luxury cars and having her own horse.
At a young age she managed her father's inventory for his business, keeping track of invoices, and deposited the money in the bank. From these early experiences, she developed the philosophy she would use later in life to teach children, one that entailed providing encouragement and positive reinforcement.

After graduating in 1957 with a bachelor's degree in secretarial sciences, from Clark College (nowClark Atlanta University)  in Georgia, she returned to Alabama to teach typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and business law at Monroe County Training School. Having never intended to be a teacher, she left the teaching profession in 1959 to take a position as a medical secretary at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago and during that time she met Clarence Collins, a draftsman,

On September 2nd 1960, she married Clarence & went on to have 3 children, Patrick, Eric and her only daughter, Cynthia.  After her marriage, Collins returned to teaching in 1961, as a full-time substitute in Chicago's inner-city school system for approximately fourteen years, as s he missed helping youngsters discover the joy of learning.

As part of the public system, she found that some teachers "were creatingmore welfare recipients"which made her angry.

Always being concerned with the low levels of achievement by some of the students in the schools where she taught, Collins looked for a remedy. She dexided to open her own school, calling it the 'Westside Preparatory School'  in the basement of the Daniel Hale Williams University, which was to be an affordable private school especially for low income black children, that had been labeled as learning disabled by the Chicago Public School System. Collins was sure that these 'labelled' students were teachable and able to overcome their learning difficulties through her own teaching methods, which she believed would eliminated behavioral issues and allowed students to flourish. She made a point of not accepting federal funding, as she didn't want to abide by the regulations that came with such a backing, she also felt that she needed more independence than she had in the university setting, so s he withdrew $5,000  (approx. $22,750 today )  from her own teacher's retirement fund in 1975, and w ith her husband's help, they renovated the top floor of their home to be a schoolroom. There home was located in one of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods and the new school was to accommodate approximately twenty children ranging from four to fourteen years old.
​
Two of her children attended her school, setting the bar for the others to rise up to. Collins would build the confidence of her students by saying to each of them "Who is the most important child?" and "When is the most important time?", where they would reply, "Me" & "Now".

Challenges arose such as the necessary requirements to run a school in her home, but she successfully overcame all of them.

The school eventually moved to its own building near Collins's home, where shortly after this move, enrollment increased to more than two hundred students.

Marva Collins became well-known due to the 1981 TV movie based on her life's work entitled 'The Marva Collins Story', starring Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman. Cicely Tyson, who played Collins in the TV movie, said she spent time with Collins to research for the role. Collins also appeared in a featured news article on CBS's ' 60 Minutes', which was inspired by a 1970's article written by Chicago Sun-Times reporter Zay N. Smith about Collins and Westside Prep. Also in 1981, Collins received the Jefferson Award for Public Service  - for Greatest Public Service Benefiting the Disadvantaged.
​
In 1982, Kevin Ross, a 23–year-old Creighton University  basketball player, reached his senior year of college without being able to read. With the assistance of a booster from Creighton, Ross enrolled in second grade at Westside Prep. With private tutoring by Collins, Ross learned how to read and graduated in May 1983. Ross had difficulties continuing his education, but when he had serious troubles, Collins was there to help him.
​
President Ronald Reagan cited Collins during an unveiling of a national program to combat adult illiteracy and due to the success of her teaching methods, it was reported that in 1983, Reagan wanted to nominate Collins for the position of Secretary of Education, but this didn't interest her. She was also asked by president George H. W. Bush to become Secretary of Education, but she declined in favor of teaching one student at a time. In 1994, the singer 'Prince' featured her in his music video "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." ,he also donated $500,000 to the Westside Preparatory School Teacher Training Institute, which was created to teach Collins' teaching methodology.

In 1996, Collins was hired to supervise three Chicago public schools that had been placed on probation, then in 2004, Collins received a National Humanities Medal , among many awards for her teaching and efforts of school reform, and also being an Honorary member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha  sorority.

Collins began questioning the use of her name on schools that were not under her supervision and control. In 2004 she demanded that the Milwaukee outpost, the Marva Collins Preparatory School of Wisconsin, stop using her name. The school remained in operation as of 2008, but under the name Milwaukee College Preparatory School. The following year she announced that she had no relationship with the Cincinnati school that bore her name, and wanted them to cease using her name.

During the 2006–07 school year, Collins' school charged $5,500 for tuition, with parents saying that the school did a much better job than the Chicago public school system, which budgeted $11,300 per student, yet still, authorities in the system complained that this was not enough.

As of 2008 the Cincinnati school was fighting to retain the name, and the matter was being contested in court. Meanwhile, Collins had moved her base of operations to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, from where she maintained a busy schedule of speaking engagements, workshops, and other consulting activities.

​Marva Collins, alongside her daughter Cynthia, ran the Westside Preparatory School in Chicago (which was eventually located on the South Side), for more than 30 years, until its closure in 2008 due to  financial issues

​Marva Delores Collins died while in hospice care, on June 24, 2015, in Beaufort County, South Carolina, at the age of aged 78 years.

Such were the rules adopted by the town of Dorchester( Massachusetts ) in 1645, for the ​management of this school established in 1639, and it is very probable that all the schools established previous to 1647 were managed in a similar manner.

* First . That the schoolmaster shall diligently attend his school and do his utmost endeavor for benefiting his scholars according to his best discretion.
*Second . That from the beginning of the first month until the end of the seventh, he shall every day begin to teach at seven of the clock in the morning and dismiss his school at five in the afternoon. And for the other five months, that is, from the beginning of the eighth to the end of the twelfth month he shall every day begin at eight of the clock in the morning and end at four in the afternoon.
*Thirdly . Every day in the year the usual time of dismissing at noon shall be at eleven and to begin again at one, except that
*Fourthly . Every second day in the week he shall call his scholars together between twelve and one of the clock to examine them what they have learned on the sabbath day preceding, at which time he shall take notice of any misdemeanor or outrage that any of his scholars shall have committed on the sabbath to the end that at some convenient time due admonition and correction may be administered.
*Fifthly . He shall equally and impartially receive and instruct such as shall be sent and committed to him for that end whether their parents be poor or rich, not refusing any who have right and interest in the school.
*Sixthly . Such as shall be committed to him he shall diligently instruct, as they shall be able to learn, both in humane learning and good literature, and likewise in point of good manners and dutiful behaviour towards all, especially their superiors as they shall have occasion to be in their presence whether by meeting them in the street or otherwise.
*Seventhly . Every sixth day in the week at two of the clock in the afternoon he shall catechise his scholars in the principles of Christian religion, either in some Catechism which the wardens shall provide and present, or in defect thereof in some other.
*Eighthly . And because all man's endeavors without the blessing of God needs be fruitless and unsuccessful, therefore it is a chief part of the schoolmaster's religious care to commend his scholars and his labors amongst them unto God by prayer morning and evening, taking care that his scholars do reverently attend during the same.
*Ninthly . And because the rod of correction is an ordinance of God necessary sometimes to be dispensed unto children, but such as may easily be abused by overmuch severity and rigor on one hand, or by overmuch indulgence and lenity on the other, it is therefore ordered and agreed that the school master for the time being shall have full power to administer correction to all or any of his scholars without respect of persons, according as the nature and quality of the offence shall require." The rule further requires that the parents "shall not hinder the master therein" but if aggrieved they can complain to the wardens "who shall hear and impartially decide between them." ​ 'Early schools and school-books of Europe & New England 1545'

"Neatly secured from being soiled or torn
Beneath a pane of thin translucent horn,
A book to please us at a tender age
'Tis called a book, though but a single page,
Presents the prayer the Saviour deigned to teach,
Which children use, and parsons — when they preach."
-William Cowper

The progress of English grammar was greatly assisted by William Walker, a teacher and grammarian of extraordinary learning. He was born in Lincolnshire in 1623, and died in 1684. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He became master of the South Grammar School, from which he resigned for that of the Free School in Grantham, Lincolnshire, where he had Isaac Newton for his pupil In 1653 he published A Treatise of English Particles, a work of great labor and merit. It was very popular and passed through several editions, the writer's copy being of the 12th edition published at London in 1703. Chambers' Encyclopaedia says-"Grammar Schools received their name at a time when the grammar of the English language was not written, and when all knowledge of the principles of language could be obtained only through a study of the grammar of the ancient tongues, particularly Latin.  " Universities recognized the ancient tongues as the only sound basis of a liberal education. T he text-book used was a comparatively simple affair known as anAccidence.Then they were taught to write and speak Latin, which required the use of the larger book or Grammar and the Colloquies of Corderius. Later they were taught Greek, Hebrew, rhetoric, elocution, and versification, and the text-books were the Latin and Greek Testaments and the works of the classical authors . ​​​ ​ Early Schools & Schoolbooks... One of the best of the early manuals is the "London Spelling Book ," by John Urmston, a schoolmaster at Kensington, published in 1710. Henry Dixon , a schoolmaster at Bath, Thomas Dyche, Thomas Dilworth, Jean Palairet, and John Kirkby the arithmetician, all published books for schools with more or less success.

By William Perry ​ the first Worcester edition of which was published by Isaiah Thomas in 1785. The author, William Perry, was Lecturer on the English Language in the Academy of Edinburgh and the author of several valuable school-books, more especially an English Dictionary. So popular was this spelling-book that the publisher, Isaiah Thomas, announced in 1804 that he had sold more than three hundred thousand copies.

Noah Webster was born in Hartford, Conn., Oct. 16th, 1758. He commenced the study of the classics in 1772 under...Rev. Nathan Perkins, D.D., and in 1774 was admitted a member of Yale College, graduating in 1778. His intention of pursuing the practice of the law ...was set aside by the War of the Revolution. After graduating , his father gave him an eight-dollar bill of the Continental currency...and told him that he must ...rely on his own means for support... He resorted to the instruction of a school & during the summer of 1779 resided at Hartford, Conn. Not having the means of obtaining a regular education for the bar, Mr. Webster at the suggestion of a distinguished counselor of his acquaintance...(while teaching school) without the aid of an instructor, after two years was admitted to practice in the year 1781. As he had no encouragement to open a (law) office...he taught at a classical school in 1782 at Goshen, Orange County, New York. Here.....he undertook an employment which gave a complexion to his whole future life. This was the compilation of books for instruction of youth in schools. Having prepared the 1st draught, he made a journey to Philadelphia..that same year, and after exhibiting a specimen to several members of Congress, and Rev. S. S. Smith, Professor at Princeton College, he was encouraged to continue. The first dictionary  published in the British Colonies was: The Royal Standard English Dictionary. By William Perry , Lecturer- Academy at Edinburgh, the first edition of which was printed in Edinburgh in 1775. Early Schools & Schoolbooks...

The Chapman's nursery literature —block printing of the coarsest kind—gradually superseded the ancient hornbooks. The alphabet accompanied by a prayer—and the numerals, and printed on rich papers...was sold by the single sheet at fairs and markets. It was fastened by mother or schoolmistress to a piece of wood or parchment. Probably in the majority of cases these ' steps to learning ' were sold ready pasted on to wooden battledores. To this succeeded the pasting of the alphabet on coarse brown paper and board, so as to be a book without leaves. The covering outside was generally of barbarous gaudiness, the price one penny. ​History of the hornbook Spellers followed soon after the Hornbooks & Battledore's faded out. Coote's English ​ Schoolmaster , a very popular speller of the 17th century, first published in 1590, and extensively used in the petty schools of England for more than one hundred years. These petty schools, were frequently in the hands of poor women or other necessitous persons; and it was largely for such persons that Edmund Coote, Master of the Free School in St. Edmunds Bury, wrote his little manual. In his Preface he says: "The learned sort are able to understand my purpose. I am now to direct my speech to the unskilful, which desire to make use of it for their own private benefit, and to such men and women of trade, as Tailors, Weavers, Shopkeepers, Seamsters; and such others as have undertaken the charge of teaching others." ​Early Schools & School Books Common Abreviations The English School Reformed 1770..By Archibald DOUGLAS Rules for Good Behaviour The English School Reformed 1770..By Archibald DOUGLAS Click to read Bentley's Pictorial primer, 1845 Head Masters of King Edwards School, Bury St. Edmund's . 1562?

That the ABC and the Primer were to serve as an elementary reading-book and as a first book of religious instruction for children Westminster Assembly formulated the Shorter Catechism, which was first printed for official use in London in 1647. T he Catechism was a universal schoolbook, being taught in its simplest form by the parents by word of mouth to children that perhaps had not been taught their letters. In a somewhat enlarged form it was studied and committed to memory by the youths and maidens. Early Schools & Schoolbooks... "In the year 1782, while the American army was lying on the bank of the Hudson, I kept a classical school in Goshen, Orange County, New York. I there compiled two small elementary books for teaching the English language. The country was then impoverished, intercourse with Great Britain was interrupted, school-books were scarce and hardly attainable, and there was no certain prospect of peace." (Webster) Barlow presenting his work to the King Webster's Bookkeeping. Click to read The earliest dictionaries we possess were compiled to teach the English a foreign tongue, and were bilingual or trilingual. Purely English dictionaries followed after a long interval, but for many years were merely lists of hard words; and it was not until Edward Phillips published The New World of Words ,  in 1658 ​ that we began to have a dictionary which was approximately a complete collection of all the words in the English language. In 1573 John Baret compiled one of the most pleasing of the early dictionaries, to which he gave the curious name, An Alvearie, because it was really compiled by his scholars. A dictionary which was popular both in England and America was Elisha Coles' Dictionary, which was first published in 1676 and republished as late as 1732. In 1772 was published a dictionary which had a large sale in America. It was entitled: The Complete English Dictionary: or General Repository of the English Language; containing a copious explanation of all the words in the English Language together with their different significations . . . to which will be prefixed., a complete English Grammar. By Rev. Frederick Barlow , M.A., Vicar of Burton, assisted by several others . London.

 In the winter following,  Webster revised what he had written; leaving Goshen in 1783, he returned to Hartford, where he published his First Part of a Grammatical Institute of the English Language . The second and third parts ...followed. These works, comprising a spelling-book, an English grammar, and a compilation for reading, & were the first books of the kind published in the United States. Besides the Dictionary, which was the leading employment of his life, Mr. Webster published several books and papers on political, literary, and moral subjects. He died at New Haven, May 28, 1843.

Examining first the total period of schooling prescribed for all children-the duration of compulsory education-the trend is towards prolongation: for example, in the U.S.S.R. to the full ten-year course of secondary (general) education, in the United Kingdom to age 16, in Denmark to eight years of basic schooling (in 1972/73) then to nine (in 1973/74), in Cyprus and Malta to age 15. The addition of the 7th grade to primary education in the Philippines is a similar step. or in employment. This new orientation of the curriculum plays an important part in the evolution of methods. The statements made by the vast majority of the delegations showed that there is an increasingly marked trend towards greater flexibility of structures. The excessively rigid structures of the past are being relaxed. A third stage in the discussion was reached when some delegates raised the question of the amount of knowledge an educated person should possess, which traditional subjects should be dropped from the syllabus and which new subjects, especially scientific and technical ones, should be introduced.
