Reviews

Five successive cohorts of middle-school students at Columbia Secondary School have participated in this program. Their progress in developing argumentation skills is meticulously documented and remarkable. --Dan Novak, Assistant Principal, Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science and Engineering, New York, NY For teachers wondering how best to take advantage of new technology and the ease with which students use it, this book offers a promising answer. We have used the method with great success. --Michael Melendez, 7th grade Social Studies teacher, PS 161, New York City Kuhn's work has radically raised our expectations of what teachers and students can accomplish when they set themselves to arguing about topics they care deeply about, using digital tools to hone their skills. --Lucy M. Calkins, Robinson Professor in Children's Literature and Founding Director of the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project We've long been admirers of Kuhn's work and we're excited now to see how her argumentation and inquiry curricula will work in Singapore. It's essential that our students learn to think independently, and this approach indeed seems a path to get them there. --Dr. Christine Kim-Eng Lee, Assoc. Professor and Head, Curriculum Teaching & Learning, National Institute of Education of Singapore; Dr. Yew Jin Lee, Assoc. Professor, Natural Sciences and Science Education, National Institute of Education of Singapore We have had good success in introducing middle-school students to argumentation with this method, and they then progress with enthusiasm to the more classical debate forms. --Erik Fogel, Director New York City Urban Debate League We have used this curriculum over several years with outstanding results.We are seeking to make the program available to more students in our goal to raise the level of education in all of Latin America. --Hilario Marrero, Principal, Fray Ramon Pane School, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Argue With Me is a useful guide for educators keen on the process of argumentation and its application in the classroom. As an educator implementing argumentation in my History classroom, I have found myself referring to the book frequently for guidance and inspiration to make the process more meaningful for the students. The biggest draw is the limitless possibilities for implementation across various subjects. To me, this is what makes Argue With Me a compelling proposition for all educators. --Jason Chen Quansheng, High School History Teacher, Singapore
