Re-engaging Disconnected Youth : Transformative Learning through Restorative and Social Justice Education Paperback / softback
by Amy Vatne Bintliff
Part of the Adolescent Cultures, School & Society series
Paperback / softback
Description
As many young adults continue to disengage with learning each day, teachers and administrators struggle to find programming that re-engages secondary students with their schooling and communities.
This book profiles one program that succeeds in doing so, and should 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, this book is an in-depth, qualitative study of the ways the program transformed adult and youth perceptions of trust, connections, schooling, and human rights.
This book breaks down stereotypes about youth labeled «at-risk» and provides evidence that it is never too late to become passionate about learning.
