Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, THE DISENGAGED TEEN: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better

Zibby is joined by award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution’s global education expert Rebecca Winthrop to discuss THE DISENGAGED TEEN, a ground-breaking exploration of stressed-out teens who have lost their love of learning, and what to do to support their academic and emotional success. The authors discuss systemic issues in schooling, the impact of technology, the role of emotions in learning, and the science behind how kids learn. Then, they share strategies for parents and communities to foster curiosity and problem-solving skills!
