The disengaged teen : helping kids learn better, live better and feel better

Anderson, Jenny, 1972-2025
Books
Adolescents are hardwired to explore and grow, and learning is mainly how they do this. But a shocking majority of teens 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 five years of research into why children lose their love of learning, journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution's 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.
