The Won't Learners

Who are the won't learners? They are the students who fail to succeed in the traditional elementary, middle, and high schools. What can educators do to reconnect with the won't learner? Author Darlene Leiding has some positive approaches based on decades of experience and research with these at-risk students. She describes the many successful schools that are attracting the won't learners. Her book is about parents, teachers, and community members working together. It recommends an alternative way for the reader to look at the won't learner and how to change the way we teach them.
