We Beat the Street Teacher's Manual

The teacher's version of Talent Development Secondary's Discussion Guide to We Beat the Street: How a Friendship Pact Led to Success, the inspiring story of Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt, narrated in collaboration with author Sharon M. Draper.

A special reproducible assessment section at the back of the manual includes a review, a literature content evaluation, and a vocabulary test for each section. Wide margins for personal notes make it practical and user-friendly. This curriculum, developed at Johns Hopkins University, is used in schools across the country.
