Description: "Engaging Adolescent Learners is both a practical resource and an ideal tool for professional development. Using Brian Cambourne's Conditions of Learning as her framework, ReLeah Lent invites you to assess your learning, your practice, and your beliefs about key aspects of student motivation. Then Lent offers specific suggestions for tailoring your classroom practices to the motivational needs of each and every learner. She provides resources such as example activities for your classroom, study-group questions for ongoing professional reflection, and ideas for action research and coaching to improve your understanding of engagement."

"Examine what it means to engage young adults in their learning and find out what classrooms with engaged students look, sound, and feel like. Let ReLeah Lent help you transform your classroom into a place where students have the freedom to satisfy their natural inclination to explore. With Engaging Adolescent Learners at your side, you'll have everything you need to help even the most reluctant students find a way to learn that works for them."--Jacket.
