Why are so many teens tuned out, stressed out, or just going through the motions at school?
In this episode, I talk with journalist Jenny Anderson and education expert Rebecca Winthrop about their new book The Disengaged Teen, which breaks down four student engagement modes—Resister, Passenger, Achiever, and Explorer—and how each one impacts a young person’s learning and well-being.
We explore the systemic challenges that fuel disengagement, why boys tend to disconnect more than girls, and how AI and personalized learning can help students reconnect with curiosity. Whether you’re a teacher or a parent, this conversation is packed with insights and strategies to support teens as they learn better, feel better, and live more fully!
