Description
Book SynopsisIn Raising Empowered Learners: Curiosity, Character, and Confidence, author Ed Madison explores how tapping into a student's intrinsic interests through journalistic learning can spark their imaginations, rekindle their spirit, and build their resilience. The approach uses a journalistic lens to inform study of English language arts, social studies, and science. Students engage in research, interviewing, writing, presenting, and publishing their findings.
