Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers
EP21 How to keep from giving up on apathetic students (Ask Angela Anything)
10 May 2015
You can't lose sleep over disengaged students, but you can't give up on them, either. In this episode, I'll share how to overcome the feeling of powerlessness that comes from working with unmotivated students, and break free from the trap of trying to nag and shame them into working harder. Learn where to focus your energy--and how--in order to make the greatest difference for the greatest amount of kids. Truth for Teachers has been nominated for a Bammy Award! The Bammys are designed to honor all that's good in American schools and seek to elevate the public perception of educators.
