Bio
Brooklyn’s Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice focuses on delivering a first-class education. Though half the students enter school reading below grade level, the vast majority graduate on time and go to college. This tradition of excellence is no better epitomized than by Eyal Wallenberg. In his class, the rote mastery of formulas has been abandoned in favor of a unique blend of collaborative problem-solving, critical thinking and student-driven discovery. Wallenberg also created the school’s first course in microeconomics. Last spring 21 of 22 students passed the AP Microeconomics Exam. Those are numbers you don’t have to be a math teacher to love.
