Turnaround Tools for the Teenage Brain

With countless teens struggling in school, the stakes for educators are higher than ever before. Turnaround Tools for the Teenage Brain offers teachers research-based and classroom-tested strategies that prove every student (no matter their past experience) can learn and succeed.

Education experts Eric Jensen and Carole Snider reveal one powerful tool after another to help teachers, parents, and support staff be the real difference-makers in their students' lives. Drawing on cutting-edge science, this breakthrough book outlines the core mindsets and actionable strategies that are needed to increase student effort, build attitudes, and improve behaviors.

Step by step, teachers can learn how to tap into a student's internal motivation to help them become determined learners. The authors explain how and when to use lasting interventions called workarounds that rely on the "rules" of how the brain changes. Also included are student handouts that empower kids to make positive changes to reach their goals.

In Turnaround Tools for the Teenage Brain you'll find solutions to many of your toughest challenges and help your students become excited, lifelong learners.
