Bruce Deitrick Price is an author, artist, poet and education activist. He founded Improve-Education.org in 2005. This site now has 60 articles. Some are academic/intellectual; others deal with theories and methods used in public schools. His article On the Teaching of Slow Students, in the Education section, has been written, inevitably, from the perspective of the author's American experience, but we believe it has a lot of lessons that could apply to British education. |
