Turn-On the Turned-Off Student Ruth Herman Wells, M.S Adobe Acrobat Format US$ 15.

Few schools have a formal, written-down plan to train their students to be motivated for school. As a result, you may feel that your job is nearly impossible because you are working with so many resistant, bored, disinterested, unmotivated students.

Especially if you're a teacher, or work with this type of student, this book can provide immediate help. It's filled with surprising lessons and strategies to turnaround even the most negative, apathetic, bored, disinterested, jaded, oppositional, discouraged learner.

Not just designed for use with alternative ed and special ed students, this book contains the training that many other students need so they learn to view school as absolutely critical and essential.

This book even has lessons to turnaround students who believe that school is unnecessary because they will win the lottery, marry a wealthy man, go on welfare, become a rock star or be the next wealthy sports star.

Especially effective with children from homes that have communicated that school is not important, these lessons finally give your students the training they must have before they can succeed in school.

This training should be offered every student, but since it is not, even if you are not a teacher, but a parent, counselor, social worker or truancy officer, you will want to get this book to ensure that at least your students are actually motivated to show up on time, stay awake, and work hard in school.
