Description: Radical Equations by Robert Moses, Charles E. Cobb Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Through personal narrative and impassioned argument, activist Bob Moses shows the lessons of the civil rights movement at work in a remarkable educational movement today, a math literacy program called the Algebra Project. Publisher Description At a time when popular solutions to the educational plight of poor children of color are imposed from the outside-national standards, high-stakes tests, charismatic individual saviors-the acclaimed Algebra Project and its founder, Robert Moses, offer a vision of school reform based in the power of communities. Begun in 1982, the Algebra Project is transforming math education in twenty-five cities. Founded on the belief that math-science literacy is a prerequisite for full citizenship in society, the Project works with entire communities-parents, teachers, and especially students-to create a culture of literacy around algebra, a crucial stepping-stone to college math and opportunity.Telling the story of this remarkable program, Robert Moses draws on lessons from the 1960s Southern voter registration he famously helped organize- Everyone said sharecroppers didnt want to vote. It wasnt until we got them demanding to vote that we got attention. Today, when kids are falling wholesale through the cracks, people say they dont want to learn. We have to get the kids themselves to demand what everyone says they dont want.We see the Algebra Project organizing community by community. Older kids serve as coaches for younger students and build a self-sustained tradition of leadership. Teachers use innovative techniques. And we see the remarkable success stories of schools like the predominately poor Hart School in Bessemer, Alabama, which outscored the citys middle-class flagship school in just three years.Radical Equations provides a model for anyone looking for a community-based solution to the problems of our disadvantaged schools. Author Biography Robert P. Moses is the winner of many awards including a MacArthur fellowship and a Heinz Award in the Human Condition. Coauthor Charles E. Cobb, Jr., for thirty years a journalist for major magazines, is currently senior writer at allAfrica.com.
