Fresh Take: Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, "The Disengaged Teen"

Are teenagers destined to be bored by high school, or are we missing an important piece of the puzzle? Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, authors of THE DISENGAGED TEEN, explain what's behind the teen disengagement crisis and how parents can act.

Jenny Anderson is an award-winning journalist, author, and speaker with more than 25 years of experience. Rebecca Winthrop is the director of the Center for Universal Education at Brookings and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.

Jenny, Rebecca, and Margaret discuss:

• The four different modes of learning that teens tend to engage in
• What academic disengagement in a teen really signals about them
• How parents can help their kids get more excited about learning
