Based on The Met School in Providence - founded by educators Dennis Littky and Elliot Washor - One Kid at a Time: Big Lessons from a Small School (Teachers College Press, 2002) offers compelling stories and sensible strategies to make education more relevant, personalized, and engaging. Eliot Levine wrote this book during a fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is now an advisor at the Peace Street campus of The Met Center.
