Teens talk to adults about how they develop motivation and mastery
Through the voices of students themselves, Fires in the Mind brings a game–changing question to teachers of adolescents: What does it take to get really good at something? Starting with what they already know and do well, teenagers from widely diverse backgrounds join a cutting–edge dialogue with adults about the development of mastery in and out of school. Their insights frame motivation, practice, and academic challenge in a new light that galvanizes more powerful learning for all. To put these students′ ideas into practice, the book also includes practical tips for educators.
