As many young adults continue to disengage with learning each day,
teachers and administrators struggle to find ways to re-engage
secondary students with their schooling and communities.
Re-engaging Disconnected Youth profiles a program that succeeds in
doing so, one that can serve as a model for others. In a Midwestern
alternative school, three teachers built a curriculum around
hands-on learning, restorative justice Talking Circles, and
multicultural education, in the hopes that it would re-engage and
inspire youth. Drawing on Adult Transformative Learning Theory, the
book is an in-depth, qualitative study of the ways the program
transformed adult and youth perceptions of trust, connections,
schooling and human rights. It breaks down stereotypes about youth
labeled "at-risk" and provides evidence that it is never too late
to become passionate about learning. This new revised edition
includes updated research and a chapter exploring the impact of the
program on middle school youth.
