Alan Sitomer is a three-time Teacher of the Year award winner and author of several young adult novels, including Homeboyz, an American Library Association Top Ten Book of the Year. Here Sitomer shares modern methods for keeping students engaged in the "boring" classroom. It's understandable how school comes second to adolescents dealing with weighty issues in everyday life. That is why it's necessary to teach teens how to get involved in their education and take responsibility for it. Discover new ways-whether it be through hip-hop music or contemporary literature-to help students connect the outside world to life in the classroom. Students will not only gain an appetite for knowledge-they'll be hungry for more. Join Sitomer on the front lines of education with Teaching Teens & Reaping Results. Narrator Andrew Garman will confidently guide you through these innovative ideas on how to create a positive learning environment for teens to thrive.
