Interview with Siegfried Engelmann: one of America's great educators

Post by Debbie_Hepplewhite »

The work of Siegfried Engelmann is of international importance so I'm adding this interview conducted by Bruce Deitrick Price on this 'General Forum'.

Credit must also be attributed to Bruce for his long-standing and formidable efforts to draw attention to the tragedy and inevitable consequences of flawed reading instruction.

Interview with Siegfried Engelmann: one of America’s great educators
By Bruce Deitrick Price
Columnist EducationViews.org
Siegfried Engelmann is the real thing, an educator who loves to teach children and knows how to do it, both personally and in his books. As far back as the late 1960s, he told the Education Establishment: you’re doing it all wrong.

Engelmann takes a scientific approach. He believes you formulate programs, test them, revise them, and keep doing this until you get solutions that give you the greatest success in the ordinary classroom.



Bruce Deitrick Price is an author and education reformer. He founded Improve-Education.org in 2005; his site explains theories and methods.
