Overcoming Student Apathy: Motivating Students for Academic Success
provides a candid look into the hearts and minds of many of today's
struggling students. Frustrated teachers and administrators
typically stop at labeling the symptoms shown by these students:
apathy, low motivation, laziness. Overcoming Student Apathy
clarifies the situation, while proposing tips to rise to the
challenge. Apathy plagues many of today's middle and high school
classrooms, and the problem will not spontaneously disappear.
Teachers must be willing to move beyond the 'they don't care'
attitude to discover how we can eradicate this nemesis to learning.
Overcoming Student Apathy guides the reader toward success with the
disenfranchised, the downtrodden, the devalued, and the
demoralized. Eight archetypes are used in narrative form to
represent the various forms that apathy assumes in our classrooms
(e.g., The Rebel, The Downtrodden, The Invisible). Teachers will
identify with both the students and the teachers portrayed in the
book; thus, transferring understanding and applications back to
their own classrooms.
