This is the lady that embarrassed the city public school system. They did a lot to smear and hurt her. She was far too strong to ever let it ever break her. God bless all she did!!
REALLY??? Troll...My parents were donors to her school when she began. The issue.isn't the school teachers...she required the parents to be involved and of they did not, they were kicked out of the school. Parents are very important! Unfortunately, parents in public schools can not require the same.
@@divingchicago actually if public school teachers rose up as one and they would if they cared like Mrs. Collins did, things would change. She proved it IS very much the teachers and the teaching method. Of course, broken dysfunctional families are a factor and she had same kids, same neighborhood the failed public school had. Troll? The usual slur when one has no cogent response.
I am a teacher and first came across the Marva Collins story last night. I was so inspired by this teacher that I pledged to love my students even more and try to follow in her footsteps.
@paradisechild Your students are most fortunate to have such a caring teacher! 👍💕If I were a teacher, I certainly would be endeavoring to learn from her effective and loving methods too!!!
She proved the current teaching methods and treatment of these poor black children was terrible. They were special and were capable of all and more that Mrs Collins expected of them! This is beautiful!!! And School Uniforms!!
I spoke with her over the phone. It was truly an honor. Didn't get to send my son to her. But he made it through, thank goodness. He always read well. My mother read Homer to him as a child. She did it for fun without realizing the impact reading has on a child. He still reads Homer on occasion and has worked for years as a graphic designer. That was actually MY dream!
I feel you. But she said often that she was no miracle worker. She loved kids and consistently applied what the research describes as "best practice". Today we call it the Science of Reading. It's what Mrs Collins was doing. We, as Black folks, should be on the front lines shouting from the rooftops to have instruction rooted in the Science of Reading, not grasping at straws for whatever trendy or politically correct thing comes along.
It's really sad that the Marva Collins story hasn't been shared on a larger scale... I'm shocked to hear that so many have never heard of her wonderful teachings. Marva Collins was a trailblazer as it relates to academics and ensuring that our children where taught to embrace learning and succeed.
@@kareemweaver7935 I would like to know where her methods are taught as these children are not reading up to standards? I see the failure in my younger grandchildren and have been working with them to strengthen their reading skills.
Seriously a human treasure that should be known to every person. A reminder that teaching is not just isolated to the classroom. Teaching is about giving the opportunity to live a fullest life.
Thank God for teachers like this because when I was in elementary school, 2 of my teachers told me I couldn't learn. I felt horrible. Yrs later I met another teacher. He told me I could learn. I just needed someone to teach me how to learn !! He was right. He taught me how to learn by understanding definitions and thru reseach. Well, that teacher was the Lord. Praise his name I've been learning ever since... True story ❤
Marva Collins was an amazing teacher! She was also blessed with a school system that allowed her to teach the way she chose to rather than how the government mandated.
She actually had to leave the school system to do her own thing and teach a classic education. There's a movie called the Marva Collins story. Worth the watch
@@KhaoticKim It wasn't the method of teaching that she objected to. The schools, at that time, had too much chaos. Once she began to work outside of the school, she gave seminars and training to educators in traditional school settings. Supporting their understanding of effective instructional methods. I taught in a public school system where we used a curriculum that mirrored her approach and, wouldn't you know it, reading went up 7 years in a row. It takes clarity, curriculum, and support. Actually, the clearest proponents for her teaching methods are traditional groups. If you look at the AFT website their "Elements of an Effective Reading Program" are nearly identical to what Marva Collins was doing. The question is... "Is anybody listenng?"
Talk shyt all we want but they hide the women that should be Celebrated. Especially the black ones. There's good and bad in all. It's crazy I'm now learning about this woman. Social media ain't shyt but guess what youtibe showed me more on this woman. Good and Bad in all. Celebrate more good
Thank you for posting this update. I recently heard about this wonderfully lady a few weeks ago. Sad I never heard her story until now, but I'm glad I did. I've always wondered what happened to the kids who attended her school and I just knew they were all going to be successful. 🥹🤗👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
A tremendous and shining example of how the school system is failing our children, they know what the problem is and refuse to change for the benefit of the children. So sad. Only by the grace of God will our children succeed and live happy and healthy lives.
I watched the true story about this teacher just last week. the last young lady who graduated suma cum laude who was once declared retarded, what a testimony of what a little love and determination not to give up on her could do for children today! I initially watched the movie because Cicily Tyson is one of my favorite actresses but then i was engrossed by the story itself. Oh for more teachers like Mrs. Marva Collins!
I meet her years ago, in my office in Pembroke, ILLINOIS. We cried together, because its broke our hearts. Students at school, the majority of their parents on warfare, their grandparents on warfare, the children grows up to be on warfare. I Love Mrs. Collins very much. She an excellent educator.I’m a retired teacher now. I taught my students well also. I Love the class reunion. God Bless all educators.🙏🏽📚💞
Her name should be on buildings and be an educational name everyone should know. The educational bureaucrats saw to it she has been forgotten and was never given the accolades she deserved. I met a teacher she trained. She told me Marva was tremendous. She said the establishment really disliked her because she proved them wrong.
I never met her, but I'm so glad that she existed. Her passion to help and uplift young minds inspires me to be a more patient, kinder more encouraging mother, wife and friend.
The system is not designed to educate children from the projects. Cudos to you Marva Collins, you could not have done what you did, without love in your heart and a bag full of skills!
Mrs. Marva Collins was a great inspiration to teachers and students. All these children need as confidence and inspiration. These children have brains and abilities as everyone else. There is nothing inferior about then.
Marva Collins made a fool out of a racist white man. Black African People had their own institutions of higher learning before they were enslaved. Black were the very first people on the earth and were very civilized. No one can dispute me on this
@@joesmith5247 Yes, America have the White House that black men built, all of these huge prestigious universities, degrees, and still continue to hate other human beings because their skin pigment is dark. So much for degrees and intelligence there! Make that make sense!
@@joesmith5247 You mean the Harvard and White House that was built by African slaves? LMAO. Imagine being this lost? This is what happens when you don’t teach actual African history and pick WS propaganda instead. You end up with confident ignorant people.
Marva Collins’s style of teaching, training, motivation, encouragement, repetition, and discipline, NEEDS to be implemented in our school system Today.
Even as Ms. Collins taught them people make predictions but you determine. Even the nay sayers were proven wrong. Bless you all who believed in those children. You didnt just tell them they can succeed you taught them and gave them the right tools to succeed❤
Not sure why her way of teaching hasn’t been duplicated in teachers everywhere. I have read her books and watched her videos and am inspired to follow her approach to education. We need more no nonsense delivered with love. This is what a child needs. I believe every child can learn.
God is amazing he used marva to save lives, to encourage the oppressed, and most importantly love them and see them as he see’s us. God bless her soul. Thank you God for her service.

Why people don share more of this? It’s wonderful

Did you watch the documentary on TH-cam? It was fascinating. That's how I first learned about her. God bless you as a Teacher
now they call her methods Structured Literacy or the Science of Reading. but you have to have love in it or it loses strength
@paradisechild Your students are most fortunate to have such a caring teacher! 👍💕If I were a teacher, I certainly would be endeavoring to learn from her effective and loving methods too!!!
She spoke life over and into her students. The Bible says the power of life and death is in the tongue.
Amen
Exactly!!!
Straight up🙌🏾
Marva Colins gave those children hope and made them believe in themselves, God bless her.
We need more Marva Collins’ in touch with our children! I’ve truly enjoyed learning about her!🌹
God , please help me to impact my students with disabilities the way she did in Jesus name Amen 🙏🙏🙏❤
Amen!
Amen 🙏
Amen!
Amen
This brought tears to my eyes. What potential we all have as humans, but what low expectations others have of us.
She proved the current teaching methods and treatment of these poor black children was terrible. They were special and were capable of all and more that Mrs Collins expected of them! This is beautiful!!! And School Uniforms!!
She believed in her students when they didn't believe in themselves. Now, their living their dreams. Marva Collins was indeed a miracle worker.
May our Lord bless all the Teachers like Marva Collins. We love you Ms. Marva Collins!

I totally agree!
Now, her methods are called the Science of Reading. But it has to also be mixed with love.

Thank you very much for showing the results of the children, as adults now and how far they have come since her training. Thank you

She had to start her own private school to teach her method. The public school system does not support this style of teaching.

MARVA IS THE CREATOR OF HER OWN SCHOOL SYSTEM! She wanted nothing to do with the AMERICAN failing school system! SHE WAS THE MASTER OF HER DESTINY!
I cannot comprehend a school system with no sports, no art and no recess. No physical sports....Active body produces active mind.
Very inspiring. Saw this movie about her starring Cicely Tyson. 👍👍
I believe Morgan Freeman played her husband. Great film, it made me want to be a teacher.
Divine comedy is one of his favourite books!! Most High School students today do not understand this book by Dante.
Confidence is HUGE in education, in life! This women is an angel ❤
This was a wonderful story, what an inspiration.
Kudos to Marva Collins I am inspired to do my part in impacting the next generation.
Thank you for sharing this
Makes me so happy, I cry.
Saw the movie years ago also last Sunday. Enjoyed it.

We need the spirit of this, the excellence in education from the past, to be resurrected in our day.
When the teacher is prepared to believe, the "student" in the child appears.
My God!!!
A true teacher❤❤❤
we all just need someone to believe in us
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Maybe we as black people need to follow her example and go back to her principles
Check out Marcus Kline. He's from Chicago and has three schools in Chicago, one in Atlanta and two in Miami.
Haters are gonna hate, hate, hate but success will shut their mouths.
Death blow to certain nonsense
Marva Collins
The only thing I'd change would be the inclusion of arts and sports, arts, in particular.
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never listen to the naysayers, do not acknowledge their existence.
This was so expiring ❤
Please share. I find that most people know nothing about her work and what's possible for all children.

I Salute Marva Collins, she was the Teacher of The Century! ❤You left a huge foot print for others to follow. You are to honored and celebrated! ☝🏾
What a wonderful testimony from these young people who followed her encouragement!
This literature TODAY in high school is barely taught and certainly not in the depth of analysis that Mrs Collins taught!!

Wrong! Parents have to be involved.

My only regret is that I couldn't be in her class and learn about all these classics.
Most classics are free and can be read online! It’s not too late.
I am proud to share her name. 😊
Positive reinforcement is the KEY
Love, preparation, skill, patience, high-quality materials, being personally grounded, leadership....
Thank you so much for posting this!
i watch this and also read misEducation of the Negro before each school year. brings me focus, hope, and determination.
She must have been a key resource for the introduction of Thrass. Well done Mam👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The govt controls the system that’s why
BLESS GOD AND AMEN
This does my heart so good, said this retired teacher and principal. ❤
Amazing and very inspiring ❤

So amazing. Makes me teary 🥲
This made me cry
❤❤❤
Where are they NOW? 2024??? Wonder what she will say about 'sex education' & drag queen shows in elementary schools??
I NEED another update, @CBS!
Wow
People do not realize that lack of parent involvement is critical to education. The parents have to step up and need to stop having c hildren!!
