A documentary on the teaching methods used by Marva Collins in her West Side Preparatory School in Chicago, Illinois, where phonics, classical literature, and a sincere love of children are emphasized. From Archive.org Shared for historical purposes. I do not own the rights.
Marva Delores Collins (née Knight; August 31, 1936 - June 24, 2015) was an American educator who started Westside Preparatory School in the impoverished Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago in 1975.
Dismayed at the low levels of learning that she felt some students were experiencing in particular areas, Collins took $5,000 (a large sum of money at that time) from her own teacher's retirement fund and started a private school in the top floors of the brownstone in the West Garfield Park neighborhood where she lived in 1975.
The school she started was called Westside Preparatory School. Westside Prep became an educational and commercial success.[6] Collins created her low-cost private school specifically for the purpose of teaching low income black children whom Collins felt that the Chicago Public School System had labeled as being learning disabled.Collins said she had the data to prove that students were teachable and were able to overcome obstacles of learning via her teaching methods, which she said eliminated behavioral issues and allowed students to flourish.
The one-room schoolhouse of her education influenced her methods. At home her father gave her assignments she believed built her confidence and gave her a sense of responsibility. She felt time spent with students was more valuable than distance-creating audio visual information.
Collins and her daughter ran the school for more than 30 years until it closed in 2008 due to lack of sufficient enrollment and funding. - Wikipedia

When I was 12 years old, after reading "Marva Collin's Way" I wrote her a letter saying that I would like to work with her one day. I was so nervous writing that letter - didn't want to make any spelling or grammar mistakes. She ANSWERED me. Told me to work hard, prepare myself and call her when I'm older and it "would be a pleasure" to have me work with her. This letter was a driver! That reinforcement! I am so thankful for that letter - a true teacher and leader and inspirer.

Marva Collins is the epitome of what excellent teaching is. I am so grateful that I had an opportunity to meet her. She is the reason why I teach. When I was 7 years old, I saw the movie, The Marva Collins Story, played by Cicely Tyson, I knew immediately that I wanted to become a teacher. Years later, after graduating from college, I flew out to Chicago to meet Mrs. Collins, and to sit in on many of her staff development meetings. What I learned from her in one summer, did not compare to the staff development workshops that I've attended in all my years of teaching in a public school setting. Its been over 20 years. When Mrs. Collins taught and mentored me , I walked away with an overflowed feeling of empowerment, a wealth of ideas, and NEW INFORMATION that would draw kids to you like a magnet. I eventually started my own school, which is modeled after Marva Collins' Method, and it is very successful. May her legacy live on.

Stop waiting for social media to teach you what you can look up/discover for yourself. I'm from Chicago and Marva Collins era. We had no social media or computers yet we learmed about ourselves because we took our own initiatives as Black people. There's no reason for Black today people to not know more of our Black TRUstories with all the technologies we have. Don't wait for an invisible entity that does not have our best interests and advancement as their agenda.

I wish they had show them in the video. Also Prince did not show up. But he sent us Concert tickets. Also his group The Revolution showed up. I remember that day very clearly. Also Mr.T was in our 8th grade classroom. Sitting in a chair quietly. While we was working on assignment in the classroom. We cannot forget First Lady Barbara Bush. who came to visit the school. Also had a famous Basketball player who went to our school temporary. Due to his English. Mrs. Collins was a amazing Principle. Her staff was amazing as well.

I'm re-reading a letter that my grandfather sent me in 1981 tonight and finally doing things he asked me to do in it, such as look at this marvelous educator because I myself was a colossal Chicago private school snob at the time, and he was just dismayed and so, wrote me quite a screed. This is the most inspiring vision of education I've seen in a long time. Marva Collins' pedagogy was so enthralling her kids didn't even want to leave at the end of the day despite not breaking for gym or recess! The one-room schoolhouse age-mixing, interdisciplinarian, spiritual, and philisophical approach, can, as she says, only result in excellence. By golly, 6 graders were testing at college level and could point out the Greek, French & English 'ch' sounds. The other teacher is a strong, inspiring lady, too. I remember my dad, who was a school principal, raving about phonics, and boring me to tears. God bless her; may she RIP. I'm sure she has tons of students who will always cherish her for what she did for them. I promise that this day will be used, not lost.

@graceandmarvellouswonders6249 Год назад

I just want to say a huge thank you to the woman who started the school and the other teachers who aided her in teaching the children. Imagine 5 days a week 8-9 hours a day for weeks and years being encouraged, inspired, loved and taught things of this world and education for all the school years!! I feel very strongly that all of those children did exceedingly well in or out of school over the years. This was the one of the most beautiful programs I’ve ever seen. And to build not only the child’s self esteem but to continue to build the teachers self esteem also on a daily basis for weeks and for years, just wow! Thank you thank you thank you! 😢

Thank you for reminding me and Welcome to Success.

Actually, there is a high school, in Columbus, Ohio, called Africentric. Being a teacher himself, Charles Tennant wasn't satisfied with The Columbus Public School System. So in 1999, the brother started Africentric in his garage. Now, 90% of Africentric's graduates are going to college. The Africentric Lady Nubians, their girls' basketball team, have won their 7th state championship in 5 different divisions. Which is the most in the history of Ohio Girls' High School Basketball. Even though Marva Collins and Charles Tennant had never crossed paths, her legacy still lives on.

@reelblack 5 лет назад

Agreed. Too many of our institutions die when the founders of them pass on or move on. I am sure a great deal of sacrifice came along with her dream, that others were unwilling to do. It’s nice to know she left an indelible mark on the young people she encouraged. Many went on to become teachers themselves.

Frederick McKinley not only invented the refrigeration systems for trucks, but he was the founder of Thermo-King. OH, WAIT!! I AM NOT THROUGH!! Charles Drew the invented the blood transfusion. Otis Boykin invented the pacemaker. The next time you play your favorite video game, Jerry Lawson invented the first video game console. Next time you want to spray cold water on your friends (I doubt if you have any) Lonnie Johnson invented The Supersoaker. and the next time you visit DC, (your ignorant ass probably never been anywhere) Benjamin Banneker not only drew out the plans for Washington DC, but he invented The Almanac, and The Grandfather Clock.

Watching this brought me to tears. 20 years as a school psychologist in public schools, and i cannot recall at this time seeing all the love that was exhibited in that classroom. The affirmations, the positive touch, the positive tone and warmth in the way they speak to the children. I sit here and imagine how many fewer special education identifications we would have if this were the norm. The part where she said that she would care more about their success than them, if need be, broke me because today's children hear "i got mine, idc if you do get yours. If you dont care, i dont care". This right here is why i retired myself and have no desire to go back to public schools.

"People consider what I do a miracle when it is just hard work and preparation" we all can do this, it was and is still just a choice.

@npursuit Год назад

Yes! I PBIS attempted to capture this. It failed because the teachers (en masse) didn't seem to appreciate this concept. It seemed they felt the onus was on the child to do better while they could continue to be sarcastic, ornery, and downright mean.

2019 AND WE STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH EDUCATION!!

@carlabelisle9399 4 года назад

You're right because we still have the same mindset in the various Departments of Education. I've worked in education since 2001 and early on, I learned that the education system is set up to cause children to fail. The more they fail, the more people are hired and programs are purchased, which requires more money to be give to the NEA which uses it for political and social purposes rather than for teaching. The city where I live gets Ds and Fs EACH year from the testing, and yet they require more money. It's a shame! Kindergarten children are told to memorize 100 sight words rather than be taught Phonics. No wonder they can't read in third grade - it's because they only know the words they've memorized from K-2nd grade. So very sad. I am a Phonics tutor. Was taught whole words; Dick and Jane back in the 60s. Oh, how I wish I'd been taught phonics!!

I wish they would return to teaching kids like this. Not to disparage teachers of today but having to work a full time job and then come home and have to teach your kids like they never went to school all day is ridiculous.

And this woman died in debt having to close several of her extension schools across the country. Where were the fund raisings that could have prevented that? Would such schools in a Jewish neighborhood not been richly supported? Yes they would have been. I know because I grew up in the Lawndale community in Chicago during the nineteen fifties when it was nine-five percent Jewish!

@septiawoman2911 5 лет назад

God bless this sista for all that she did. I have always been an advocate for independent black schools. "Free schools and free education." In minority (a catch all term) or heavily black areas, these areas have been reduced to third rate schools. A small percentage of black students are successful in academia, but what of the students that fall by the outside? Ms. Collins did have a vision. Unfortunately, not many shared it. I salute her.

@HIWWPI_2024 Год назад

I love that she took the time out and worked independently with a child/student if they needed extra attention/time on a subject. Teachers don’t do that anymore unfortunately. The teachers these days just hand out packets and go back to their desk and hop on their laptop 💻 and ignore the students for the remainder of the class

@consciousbeing912 3 года назад

Wow, I’m in awe. Ms. Collins and her approach, are a true testament to teaching...allowing the child to form a love of learning, and in turn loving themselves and becoming “lifters”. God Bless her and her crusade for humanity🕊

Interesting that Phonics was taught at Collins school. I have heard that Phonics stopped being taught in a number of schools and this has led to deficent aspects in education.

@@MultiSmartass1 A real short explanation: Balanced literacy is method that believes kids learn to read by guessing the word based on cues, like the context, sentence structure or letters. It's been disastrous and was recently exposed in the podcast "Sold a Story".

Medusa Brown Yes, he does make sense; in fact, he is exceptionally well spoken. I wish Dr. Umar all the best. However, I hope he has not bitten off more than he can chew. He needs more help than just money. He is always alone, except for donors. Our children are far too valuable of an asset to not be very careful. If he opens the school, I will rejoice. But that’s a huge project and it seems as though he’s trying to do it all by himself. Why? Are there no other like minded Pan African men and women whose help he can enlist?

@friendlyperson8338 5 лет назад

@@Dina_Darling Yes, ma'am. You are so correct. He needs HELP. You can't build a great empire by yourself. Get the brothers and sisters that are skilled in their fields and ask them... I'm sure they want to help! Dr. Claud Anderson, Elder Neely Fuller, Rashidi Runoko, etc., people who have wisdom and a different skill set. Get the assistance of others to bring your vision about and don't try to carry the weight all by yourself. That is not a put-down or "judgment" -- it is seeing with honest eyes that there is a problem -- and THAT requires love, wisdom and understanding.

Long before there were computers, children of my generation learnt Spelling, Dictation, Composition, Comprehension, Penmanship, Poetry & Choral Speaking in Primary School. Teachers used a blackboard and chalk...and those children grew up to become highly literate adults. Imagine, I never knew about this great teacher until saw a documentary about Cicely Tyson's movie about her. This is the type of teacher I would have liked to become but in the NYC public school system, the bureaucracy and standards-test curriculum would have meant I'd have been fired....EARLY!
