Summary

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, exercises, questionnaires,  do and dont lists, and other  helpful tools.      "Every educator would like for students to develop a passion,  but many are unsure of how to light that fire. Kathleen Cushman had  the wisdom to ask students, and they tell us with clarity what  motivates them and how school might be made more inspiring. Anyone  who cares about schooling or children should read this book."  Daniel T. Willingham, best-selling author of Why  Dont Students Like School?
