THE CLASS: A BRILLIANT TEACHER, HIS WORLD-CHANGING KIDS, AND THE MOST INVENTIVE CLASSROOM IN AMERICA
Book ID/图书代码： 01240016B94828
English Summary/英文概要： • Every once in a while a book comes along that lifts your spirit and offers promise and encouragement in a world where it is sometimes hard to fathom it. Heather Won Tesoriero’s THE CLASS is one of those books—a true story of young high school students, during one of the most vulnerable and tumultuous times of their lives, doing ground-breaking research that could potentially change the lives of millions of people around the world, and the teacher who inspires and encourages their aspirations. It’s the ideal uplifting read for fans of Friday Night Lights, The Smartest Kids in the World, and The New Cool.
•Former corporate scientist Andy Bramante abandoned his successful business career because he felt inspired to teach public high school. He helms one of the most remarkable research classrooms in America. Andy’s students have taken their work all over their home state of Connecticut and well beyond, cleaning up at the nation’s most prestigious science competitions. They have won Google’s Science Fair, invented and patented a fast and inexpensive test for Ebola, and been invited to the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm. These are kids from diverse backgrounds, united by a passion for knowledge. As extraordinary as they are, you quickly realize that they’re also just teenagers navigating relationships, triumphs, and setbacks both academic and personal, while stressed with the task of applying for college. You’ll be introduced to William, the multi-faceted prodigy who’s so driven he aces AP exams for classes he didn’t even take; Ethan, who essentially outgrows high school in his junior year and founds his own company to commercialize a project he started in the class; and Sophia, a Lyme disease victim whose ambitious work is dedicated to curing her own debilitating ailment, and Olivia, who won the Google Science Fair with her invention of a rapid test for Ebola that doesn’t require refrigeration and cost as little as $25. In a society in which “helicopter parents” and “tiger moms” rule the day, THE CLASS features kids who are self-taught and self-motivated, and in some cases, to the wonderment of their own parents.
In this intimate look at a year in the life of "Mr. B" and his students, journalist Heather Won Tesoriero embeds herself in this unconventional classroom as they brainstorm and bring to life their professional-level projects.
