Over the course of twenty-two years of teaching, Steven Levy has taught every grade level from kindergarten through college. He has been recognized as the 1992-93 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year and honored as the Outstanding General Elementary Teacher by the Walt Disney Company ion 1994-95. Levy has also received the John F. Kennedy prize for the teaching of history, and his project Lexingtons, USA, was chosen by the American School Board Association as one of the hundred best curriculum ideas in the nation.
While the professional literature is glutted with theories on educational reform, our children remain starved for authentic learning that grows out of their unique, original classroom experiences. Award-winning teacher Steven Levy attributes this disparity to the lack for clear examples illustrating the kind of thinking and planning that results in powerful learning. The void, he asserts, too often prompts teachers to "either return to the curriculum guide or try to implement projects developed by others". Starting from Scratch presents an inspired alternative. In detailed accounts, it explains the step-by-step observations, thinking, and planning that enabled Levy to develop a variety of original projects with his elementary students. These have ranged from environmental inquiries - students studying the impact of a local bike path on their community - to an imaginative look at the qualities of number - a classroom quest to determine which is the greatest number. These projects were generated by the children's own interests, but they also provided myriad opportunities to develop basic skills. In this regard, Starting from Scratch offers a creative reconciliation of some of the more hotly debated issues in education: project-based learning versus basic skills; integrated curriculum versus discipline-centered instruction; state and national standards versus local and individual interests.
