Boys are outperformed regularly by girls in standard tests, with the gap appearing to widen. They are often seen as problematic in the classroom. Their behaviour can be disruptive and they can lack motivation for learning.

Features

Being a boy today is not easy. This practical and insightful book is intended to help you to make a difference in the lives of the boys you teach. It does this by helping you understand boys and by showing you how to use that knowledge to improve the teaching and learning in your classroom. The first section of the book will help you to understand boys by: exploring the factors that influence their behaviour and learning, learning how their brains develop, appreciating and utilising their values and being aware of the cultural and social influences on them. The second section will show you how to teach boys effectively by explaining how to: value their strengths, plan for the unique challenges they present, match their needs to specific types of classroom activities and create boy-friendly lessons and classrooms. This book will enrich your thinking about boys and give you a wealth of ways in which you can enhance your teaching, their learning and, ultimately, their future. Contains 64 A4 pages.
