Dr. Jones is here!
Hopefully, you have noticed! SPS has made a concerted effort to focus a lot of energy on math and science for the start of 2011. We have contracted with Dr. Wayne Jones for our 12 week math and science program. Dr. Jones is a brilliant educator that believes in a comprehensive, practical, historical, african centered approach to the instruction of math and science. Dr Jones uses his signature curriculum to execute a teaching strategy that forces the SPS participants to challenge the customary ‘memorization’ learning strategy of today’s school system, and expand it with the application of ’critical and analytical’ thought. You will have to sit in one of the classes to understand the impact!
