Engaging the Disengaged
Charlton, Beth Critchley Based on the premise that teachers need to engage with students in a real way, this book illustrates how to help students care more about their work. It offers effective ways to close "the achievement gap, " eliminate "the fourth-grade slump, " and reach "students at risk." A comprehensive overview of school experiences, the book argues that teachers can change the way they view learning, and create a better classroom.
