About the event
Straight A’s don’t guarantee real-world success—but when achievement is paired with engagement, teens flourish. This workshop uncovers how to cultivate both, so your teen excels academically and develops the skills to thrive beyond high school.
In this session of the series, "The Unbook Club," we discuss the book by award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution’s global education expert Rebecca Winthrop - The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better.
About the series, "The Unbook Club:" Think of these workshops as a book club without the reading homework. I'll share key insights from a compelling book on parenting, academic success or well-being and we’ll explore how the ideas connect to our lives and challenges.
