"I taught First Grade for thirty years in the Denver Public Schools. I believe it is there that one lays the beginning of a sound education foundation upon which a child can continue to learn successfully. The children I have written about in this book depict only a few of the many challenges I faced and how I did my best, for the good of each child, to solve whatever the problem might have been."

EVERY CHILD CAN LEARN /Second Edition
Every Child Can Learn 2nd Edition/ Dr. Marie L. Greenwood
This book depicts how education systems and philosophies have changed through the decades but how the importance of knowledge of basic facts remains the same. In this day of computers, calculators, and other electronic devices, it is still essential that a child be taught the basics of reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, and communication. This foundation must be formed in the elementary school so that middle school and high school teachers have a solid basis on which to build. Some education is primarily academic as shown in my stories of "Big Girl Dora" and "Attentive Betty." There are other skills, attitudes, and acceptable behavior patterns that need to be learned, no matter how bright a child might be, as depicted in the stories of "Belligerent Marilyn" and "Brilliant Robby." ...Marie Greenwood's accomplished life could be considered an inspiration for the Denver school district's energizing aspirations to transform urban education.... EVERY CHILD CAN LEARN is animated by a commitment to excellence that transcends race or income.... The heart of Mrs. Greenwood's book is a collection of profiles of children who had been struggling, often labeled problem children at other schools but who flourished under her tutelage.

UNC alumna Marie Greenwood gives a short presentation and answers questions from the audience. Greenwood’s book “Every Child Can Learn” talks about her teaching methods while working at public schools. LOVELAND — Teachers can be the most influential people in our lives; some of these teachers inspire students and have a significant affect on their lives. One such teacher is Marie Greenwood, a retired schoolteacher and author of the book “Every Child Can Learn,” spoke Monday at the Centerra Campus in Loveland about her experiences teaching.
A 1935 alumna of the University of Northern Colorado, then known as Colorado’s Teachers College, Greenwood has achieved a lot of firsts in her lifetime; she was the first black woman to receive a contract with the Denver Public Schools district and the first minority teacher to teach at a school in an all-white area.
“Marie Greenwood helps educators to transform lives of students,” said Eugene Sheehan, the dean of the UNC Centerra Campus.
Greenwood said she still uses her love of children and teaching to inspire those who want to be teachers. Using a little bit of history, life experiences and some well-placed humor.
“Remember, every child can learn something,” Greenwood said, a motto she said that has carried her through her career.
Greenwood also said teachers must first like children, and they must remember every child can learn something. Her main focus for the presentation was to give some suggestions on basic philosophy in a way that will help. Greenwood was not only at the presentation to impart her wisdom, but also to promote her book.
Ruth Brunner, a UNC alumna and a special education middle school teacher, said she still remembers how Greenwood’s teaching methods and attitudes influenced her. Brunner also said she thinks about what Greenwood taught her whenever she writes her lesson plans and uses some of her techniques.
“Marie Greenwood is inspiring, and anyone who wants to be a teacher should hear her speak,” said Erika Perakos, an education graduate student.
Greenwood said her life experiences and willingness to avoid conforming to conventional social beliefs helped her to break through many barriers and aided her in inspiring others.
