The Insight Zone, part I

In 1993 "Sheltered Instruction" was introduced to Jefferson High School in South Central Los Angeles to facilitate learning by students whose reading and language skills were not commensurate with the materials or instruction available in the classroom. Mathematics teacher Bill Hoyst and Science teacher T.H. Culhane worked with former gang banger turned student video producer Evan Rivas to create this look at what proper sheltered instruction would be like if adopted by the school. In this video the students explain why they find it so hard to learn from the typical class room.
