Rebecca Winthrop, education expert

Is your teen checked out? Stressed out? Have they disengaged from school and social life? Would you like to help them turn that disengagement into drive, in and out of school? This webinar will empower parents to become active participants in helping their children learn better, feel better and live better.

“Winthrop and Anderson take on some of the toughest questions about America’s education crisis—and, building on five years of meticulous research, show parents the levers they can use to unlock inner drive in their children.”

—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better
