Summary Note This book provides teachers with guidance on how to differentiate teaching style to address learning differences between girls and boys in the classroom. The author provides qualitative and quantitative research to show why boys learn differently and demonstrates how you can differentiate teaching strategies to help boys succeed. The book: shows how to recognize sociological and neurobiological foundations of cognitive gender differences; looks critically at curricula and teaching practices, evaluates how well they work with boys, and uncovers areas where changes can be made; and develops educational approaches, based on research and classroom practice, that are responsive to the learning differences of both boys and girls.
