57-75 Reverse The Education Crisis, 2012. — 212 pages.
In April 2008 the 57-75 Movement organized a workbooks development write-shop in order to come up with an immediate and effective response to the problem of lacking textbooks and instructional materials in public schools. For two weeks, master teachers from each of the 57-75 pilot sites compiled a series of workbooks on Science, English, and Mathematics designed for their elementary and high school students.
The write-shop aimed to: (1) identity least mastered skills in a subject area; (2) produce lesson guides that will help increase the ability of classroom instructors in developing the mastery level of students particularly in problematic subject areas: and (3) help teachers be creative in developing their own instructional materials based on resources available to them in their respective schools.
Both the faculty and students of the public school system are expected to gain from this project. Teachers will not only be aided by the problem-solving and explanations given in the workbooks but will also be helped in terms of gearing their students towards a unified understanding of the subject matter. This workbook will also serve as an alternative medium of instruction in the absence of textbooks and other necessary teaching materials that the less fortunate may not be able to afford.
The workbooks development write-shop is also 57-75's contribution to enhancing the reading proficiencies in its pilot sites.
