The Disengaged Teen
Discover the powerful, research-backed new approach to help your teen move from disengagement to drive, from an award-winning journalist and education expert. 'Our education systems are short-changing far too many teenagers. This book is brimming with insights on how to change that. It's an engaging, evidence-based, and practical read about how to develop a generation of lifelong learners.' Adam Grant, bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again Teens and adolescents are hardwired to explore and grow, and learning is mainly how they do this.
But a shocking majority of teenagers are disengaged from school, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. As parents, we can feel powerless and don't know how to help - until now. Based on years of research into why children lose their love of learning, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and global education expert Rebecca Winthrop have created a transformative model that every parent, carer and educator needs to know about.
Identifying four modes of learning that every student goes through - resister, passenger, achiever and explorer - you'll find out why understanding what these are is crucial to your child's development and how you can coach them to become a curious, resilient and motivated learner. With stories from children who have used the tools in this book to become life-long learners, and with clear strategies on how to become your child's best cheerleader, this book is essential reading for everyone who wants to help young people thrive.
