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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again, and host of the podcast Re-Thinking A powerful new approach to help your teen move from disengagement to drive. 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, award-winning 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. 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.
