"Be nice and work hard"

Rafe Esquith teaches fifth graders in a Los Angeles public school that are either immigrants or children of immigrants that live in poverty and violence. He asks his students to "be nice and work hard," and to embrace personal codes of behavior. His classroom, Room 56, is the place where these students play Vivaldi, perform unabridged Shakespeare plays and are launched to attend the finest universities in the country.
Learn Esquith's tips, techniques, exercises, innovations, and vision that have made him one of the most celebrated teachers in the world.
