Synopsis

You have questions about why students quit

The concept of Quit Point reveals the answers to your complex questions and provides keys to engaging learners.

Educators are leaving the profession in record numbers. Students are falling through the cracks and many are giving up on learning. But what exactly is the problem? And more important, what should we do about it?

In Quit Point: Understanding Apathy, Engagement, and Motivation in the Classroom, authors Chamberlin and Matejic present a new way of approaching those issues, including emphasizing things like ungrading, motivating students, and more about reluctant learners. The Quit Point--their theory why students stop working and how to identify quitting before it happens--will transform how teachers reach the potential of each and every student.

Quit Point reveals:

• How to confront apathy and build student engagement
• How to differentiate learning for all levels,
• The best way to plan and assess learning to discourage quitting
• Interventions to challenge students to keep going
• How to experience a happier, more fulfilling, teaching experience
• Applications and toolkits to help you address Quit Point, starting tomorrow

Read Quit Point today and stop quitting before it starts tomorrow.
