Renegaging the Disengaged Teen
Offered: Fall 2026, Asynchronous
3 Credits
Today’s kids are more disengaged from their learning than ever before. Anderson and Winthrop suggest four unique learning modes of kids, how to identify a child’s learning mode, how to create more agency and real engagement in each type of learner, and how both parents and educators can foster curiosity and academic empowerment in the youth under their charge. Through course readings, asynchronous online discussions, and personal reflection, participants will learn why our youth struggle and how we can help them get more connected and committed to their learning, both inside and outside the classroom.

The Teacher Heart Mission
My classes focus on the educator. Teaching gets more stressful and demanding every year, and teachers have never needed more support. If we want to create a healthy, safe, and positive school climate for our students, we MUST prioritize educator well-being. Through these classes, teachers learn practical approaches to maintain balance, build resilience, and access meaningful support systems, so they can remain in this profession they love until retirement.
Meet Melinda Keefe, the educator behind the mission.
