PAP. Condizione: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Before March 16, 2018, a 16-seed had never beaten a 1-seed in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. The record was 0-135. The world didn't just expect the underdog to lose; they stopped paying attention before the game even started. If you teach at-risk students - students battling poverty, trauma, and apathy - you see this statistic in your classroom. The data says they will fail. The administration expects them to struggle. And the standard playbook has a losing record against the chaotic reality of their lives. So why are you still using it? In Underdogs Never Disappoint, educator Kenneth D. Lawson offers a radical new playbook for the classrooms that everyone else has written off. Drawing on the legendary upset of UMBC over Virginia, this book argues that when the world expects a blowout loss, you possess the ultimate tactical advantage: Freedom. Whether you are a basketball fanatic or prefer other activities, this book will engage you and teach you how to engage your students and get results. If the safe way guarantees failure, then the risky way is the only logical choice. This isn't just a book about hope; it is a tactical guide to the upset. You will learn: The Anatomy of the Safe Loss - Why teachers subconsciously choose failure over the chaos of innovation.The Virginia Defense - How to analyze the suffocating pressure of poverty and trauma not as character flaws, but as a defensive plan you can scheme against.Tactical Disruptions - How to shoot the three (high risk/high reward lessons) and run a full court press (radical presence) to break the cycle of disengagement.The Shadow Scoreboard - How to stop grading purely on proficiency and start tracking growth to motivate and build momentum to keep morale alive.The Laboratory of Low Expectations - How to use administrative neglect as a cover to run your most successful experiments.Whether you are teaching in an alternative school, a credit recovery lab, or simply have that one class that refuses to engage, this book is your permission slip to stop complying and start competing. You don't need a new curriculum. You need a new game plan. Because underdogs don't always win. But underdogs never disappoint. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
