Cameron Nelson's parents are already noticing a difference in their son. A bright child, he was coasting during the regular school year and withdrawing some socially. It took him awhile to catch fire at Blake, but now he's getting the hang of it. Watching him inter act in skits and in class confirmed his growth in other areas, too. For six weeks in the summer, students study English, math, history and science at the Blake School in Minneapolis.
Instructors are high school and college students interested in pursuing teaching careers.
During the school year, participants will meet twice a month to learn study skills, test-taking techniques and do activities. Reprinted from Star Tribune July 23, 2000. Copyright 2000 Star Tribune.
