Good reading for anyone who deals with teenagers.
Interesting book!
I had to read this book for a class and ended up liking it more than I had expected. The views about motivation were taken directly from students and I liked that aspect. The students made great points and spoke truthfully. It made me re-evaluate my motivational methods in class.
A lot of great comments by students (our clientele) I enjoyed reading the ...
A lot of great comments by students (our clientele)
I enjoyed reading the book and got several ideas that should help my teaching this coming year.
Excellent read for teachers
A fantastic book of student perspectives giving teachers some great ideas for changes that need to happen in the classroom.
Ignites essential ideas and insights for helping young people excel
In the midst of smouldering educational wars, Kathleen Cushman ingeniously frames her book around a core, catalytic question that cuts through ideology: "What does it take to get good at something, and what are the implications for students, teachers, schools, and school systems?" Cushman's methodology gives glorious voice to a wide range of young people who eloquently articulate what motivates them to engage and excel, and she contextualizes their perspectives within a larger framework of research on practice and performance, thereby providing incredible insights and ideas for teachers and school leaders (as well as for parents who want to help their children achieve expertise!) I work with a group of teachers who have been using pre-publication materials from this book in a teacher study group this year, and I've seen the way it has changed how teachers think about their classroom craft and the degree to which they are now creating opportunities for their students to engage in deliberate practice in order to pursue their passions and parlay them into mastery. I'm thrilled that there's an accompanying resource to this book at [...] so that readers of this book can continue to benefit from Cushman's work on this topic and can engage in ongoing exchange with her. This is a must-read for every educator (and parent) committed to helping their students (and children) engage and excel!
