- Title
Teaching for Transformation in Today's Challenging Youth.
- Authors
Larson, Scott
- Abstract
The article describes some principles for teaching transformation in challenging youth based on the book The Resilience Revolution by Scott Larson and Larry Brendtro. The combination of content, fun, and action makes for safe and creative learning environments. Most teaching focuses nearly all on the content of the material. But effective learning is not measured by what teachers deliver, but by what students learn and apply. A growing number of educators and researchers are convinced that many children who have been labeled with learning problems and attention disorders are simply children who are not taught in the ways they can learn. The concept of responsibility is not an easy one to convey. When kids and adults hear the term, they tend to migrate in their thinking to either the concept of blame or of obligation. While these definitions of responsibility are common in contemporary culture, both completely miss the meaning of responsibility that leads to resilience and transformation.
