Engaging Middle School Resources

                              Teaching Stories by Judy Logan
When nearly everyone else is telling kids no—“No, do it this way . . .
No, I don’t want to hear what you think . . . No, sit down and pay attention”—

Judy Logan says yes, to a child’s passions, interests, hopes. The results have been news making; her students blossom academically, winning essay contests, prizes, and entrance to the country’s best colleges.

 Armed with a strong sense of who they are and what they think, her students also blossom personally—resisting peer pressure, understanding racial and gender stereotypes, and connecting to the world they live in.
