In the classroom, making classic literature matter

Citizen Schools was mentioned in a Boston Globe Magazine article that looks at the experience of a Team Leader who taught an apprenticeship at the Edwards Middle School in the spring. Jessica Lander taught two apprenticeship courses to 30 students on Shakespeare, a subject many of them had no knowledge of. By the end of the semester, students were able to analyze the plays and use and understand the language utilized by the playwright.
