“Far too many students give up on learning and become the casualties of schooling that fails to motivate them, or more important, capture their imaginations in ways that imbue them with a sense of wonder and possibility around school subjects. In Motivating Students Who Don’t Care, Second Edition, Allen Mendler makes the case that teachers must work to ensure students stay the course of learning and offers a myriad of strategies for achieving this critical goal. His proven and practical ideas for inspiring unmotivated learners is holistic in its scope, ranging from everyday engaging teaching practices to the more complex but essential process of building trusting relationships by connecting with students on a personal level. Since all teachers struggle with motivating students, Mendler’s book will be a valuable guide to show them how it’s done!”
