Full Description
Overcoming Student Apathy: Succeeding with All Learners provides a candid look into the hearts and minds of many of today's struggling learners. Frustrated teachers and administrators typically stop at labeling the symptoms shown by these students: apathetic, unmotivated, lazy. Overcoming Student Apathy clarifies the issues, while proposing solutions to move forward with each student. The second edition has added three additional chapters that focus on critical issues surrounding today's learners: a look at keystone habits that influence student behavior, addressing standards that frame learning and technologies that can accent learning, and creating highly engaged learning environments to achieve success with all. Undoubtedly apathy currently plagues many of our middle and high school classrooms. This book starts the conversation on how to move beyond "they just don't care" by focusing on solutions that help to eradicate this nemesis to learning.
